The Hermitage Blanche 2019 from Jean Louis Chave is an exceptional white wine from the famous Maison Blanche site atop the Hermitage hill. This wine reflects a unique terroir with clay and iron-rich soils, providing unmatched structure and minerality. Mainly produced from Marsanne grapes with a small percentage of Roussanne, it is crafted with the careful traditional methods of the Chave family since 1481. Fermentation and aging for 18 months in French oak barrels lend deep aromatic complexity and a smooth texture. Aromas of ripe stone fruits and floral notes present on the nose, while the palate showcases a balance of ripe fruit and vibrant acidity, culminating in a long, mineral finish. Best served between 11°C and 13°C, ideally decanted to allow it to express its full complexity. Perfect with fatty fish, poultry in sauce, and aged cheeses.
