Taste

This brilliant, pale yellow wine is supple with fresh, clean flavors. Very aromatic and bursting with floral, candied fruit flavors. The vineyards of Crozes-Hermitage surround the great Hermitage Hill. Sometimes called a "down-sized Hermitage" La Petite Ruche is all freshness and easy enjoyment from younger vines.
