Parker about Crozes Hermitage Blanc Mule Blanche 2020
The 2020 Crozes Hermitage Mule Blanche (Domaine) comes from a parcel planted equally to Marsanne and Roussanne and was aged in a mix of concrete eggs (two-thirds) and oak barrels (one-third). It boasts a toasty, leesy nose backed by ripe pear and melon notes, then eases into a generous, medium to full-bodied palate that tightens up and turns citrusy on the finish. It should drink well for several years.
