Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage 2012
Detailed info
«Much more open, fleshy and sexy, the 2012 Hermitage Blanc was just bottled a month prior to this tasting. Coming from L'Ermite, Les Rocoules, Maison Blanche and Peleat lieux-dits, it's always a rough blend of 80% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne that's aged in barrel. Loaded with notions of honeysuckle, orange marmalade, powdered rock, buttered citrus and green almond, it's full-bodied, rich, upfront and fruit loaded. While I think it will be relatively accessible early in its life, it has the concentration to hold for two decades.» -ROBERTPARKER.COM
