Jean-Louis Chave Selection Hermitage Blanc "Blanche"

Hermitage, Rhône Valley, France

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

Limpid yellow-gold. Fresh pit fruits, lemon curd, jasmine and a frisson of chamomile on the deeply perfumed nose, along with suggestions of honey and succulent herbs. Pliant and energetic on the palate, offering intense peach, pear nectar and Meyer lemon flavors that become livelier as the wine stretches out. A smoky mineral note emerges on the impressively long, energetic finish, which leaves a hint of bitter pear skin behind.
