Rating

James Suckling: 93/100

"This has attractive floral and ripe red-fruit aromas with a plush, well developed palate that offers a long, succulent array of juicy and attractive fruit-soaked tannins. Try from 2022."

Le Guide Hachette Des Vins

"The Jury fell under the charm of this delicate 2016 with a flattering bouquet of blackcurrant and tertiary aromas. Round and well-balanced body between freshness and sweetness. The finish, long and tasty, does confirm: this is a textbook case! This Château Blanche Hermine 2016 red obtained the score of 1 star, which corresponds to a very successful wine."
