Jean-Louis Chave is one of the finest ‘vignerons’ in France producing some astonishing white and red Hermitages.
“Anyone who loves Hermitage and has a cold cellar should be lining up to get a few bottles of this beauty.”
– ROBERT PARKER
Tasting Notes
Vinified from grapes that were harvested as late as the 26th of September, the 2021 L'Hermitage Blanc was cropped at 38 hL/ha, above the levels of 2022. It dazzles with vivid spring blossom, honeysuckle, lemon peel, white peach, quince, apricot and discrete cedar aromas. Medium-bodied and immaculately balanced by bright acidity, this is an athletic L'Hermitage Blanc with marked freshness and energy. A saline aftertaste wraps up the sapid finish. Outstanding.
