Christelle Betton makes some of the best red Crozes-Hermitage around, but also a little white Hermitage. This is from lieu-dit L'Homme, on sandy loess soils, and vinified in recently-used barriques. 

Its toasted almond, hazelnut, and deep quince aromas are followed by a dry and rich palate that's not overly full. Creamy malo notes are quite marked, and although the acidity is very low, it's given shape and contrast by a little touch of noble bitterness. Not the most refreshing style perhaps, but complex and delicious nonetheless, with a little saline hint on the finish.
