La Maison Bleue, more ruby in color than violet, shows intense notes of blackberries and cherries, of a typical English Christmas pudding with the scent of orange peel, ginger, cinnamon and allspice. On the palate, the Hermitage is initially extremely fine and elegant, then, after a short time, power and depth flow into this Hermitage. The wine is already in a fantastic balance and ends almost salty, mineral and with a fine tannin.
