jeb dunnuck logo 250"The 2023 Hermitage Les Dionnières Blanc is 100% Marsanne aged in a combination of French oak and concrete. It has a light gold hue as well as perfumed notes of stone fruits, dried herbs, and dried pebbly earth-like nuances. These carry to a medium-bodied white with good overall balance, a lively, focused mouthfeel, and a good finish.."

2022 Fayolle Hermitage Rouge Les Dionnieres - 95 PTS - JD

jeb dunnuck logo 250"Lastly, the 2022 Hermitage Les Dionnières is 100% Syrah aged 18 months in old French demi-muid and oak. It's a beautiful effort displaying a deep, saturated purple hue to go with aromatics of smoky black and blue fruits, charred meats, graphite, and leather, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a plush, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. This brilliant Hermitage will have 15-20 years of overall longevity."
