JL CHAVE BLANCHE HERMITAGE BLANC AC

.
A unicorn and easily one of the best wines from the appelation

Highly rated by critics world wide.

This is the white wine of JL Chave, the grapes are vinified in a combination of 33% in French oak casks and 67% in stainless steel tanks. The blend for Chave Hermitage Blanc is almost always 80% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne.

Following fermentation, the wine is racked off its fine lees. The wines are then aged in a combination of mostly new and used, French oak barrels, with a small portion that is also aged in stainless steel tanks for up to 18 months before bottling.

Jeb Dunnuck “Another incredible white from this family is the
2019 Hermitage Blanc, a powerful, concentrated,
and remarkably pure Hermitage that has laserlike focus as well as textbook Marsanne notes of
quince, green almond, powdered rock, licorice,
and spice. It’s still tight, focused, and inward at
present, yet it reminds me of the 2018 with its
purity and rare mix of power and elegance. It’s
worth trying a bottle any time over the coming 3-5
years, but after that, I’d recommend waiting until
after 2031.”
