"A superb achievement, the 2019 Cuvée Hermitage Emilie Blanc - composed almost entirely of Marsanne from the Maison Blanche lieu-dit - sports scents of crushed stone, pencil shavings and ripe melon. Full-bodied, expansive and mellow on the palate, it showcases the power of white Hermitage without being overpowering, and it finishes long, with robust licorice notes adding a refreshing note. Drink it now or forget it for a decade and drink it from 2031 to 2040." (Wine Advocate 2021)

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (guide 2021) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)

About the domain :

Philippe Desmeure and his daughter Émilie have developed this family estate to 30 hectares of vines. Vinification and ageing in wood produce cuvées with a habitually caressing mouthfeel. The estate shows great consistency in both colors, vintage after vintage. Good 2017.

Guide Hachette des vins

Domaine noté (guide 2023) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)

About the domain :

Until 1973, Alphonse Desmeure brought his harvest to the cooperative. His son Philippe developed the estate from 1977 onwards, introducing bottled production and expanding the vineyard: 36 hectares today, spread over several communes. Émilie and Christophe, his children, have now joined the estate. An essential benchmark, with wines of rare consistency.
