Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage Blanc (2020)

Hermitage, Rhône Valley, France

Varietal(s): 80% Marsanne, 20% Roussanne

Incredibly perfumed with notes of acacia flowers, buttered stone fruits, toasted brioche, honeysuckle, and crushed stone, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a seamless, layered texture, beautiful mid-palate depth, and a great finish. The purity, balance, and intensity here are just about off the charts, and this is a beauty.
