Because finding a Northern Rhône white that delivers the profound, oily texture of Hermitage Blanc without the triple-digit price tag is nearly impossible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eThe secret lies in the varietal. Most Saint-Péray is made from Marsanne, which produces friendly, fruity wines. \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"112\" data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eThomas Farge’s \u003ci data-index-in-node=\"127\" data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003ePlan Rapproché\u003c\/i\u003e is a total outlier: it is dominated by 90% Roussanne.\u003c\/b\u003e Roussanne is the \"royal\" grape of the region—the variety responsible for the legendary longevity and beeswax complexity of \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"319\" data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eJean-Louis Chave’s Hermitage Blanc (which currently trades for $400+)\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eGrown on the unique limestone-granite soils of Saint-Péray (a cooler geologic anomaly in the Northern Rhône), this 90% Roussanne blend offers a sensory experience that punches way above its weight class.
