Description
"Still a bit reserved aromatically, with hints of orange blossom and crme anglaise peeking out, this features a captivating display of racy quinine, honeysuckle and white peach flavors inlaid into a rich core of brioche, Cavaillon melon, white truffle, smoked almond and heather honey. Incredibly long. Hard to resist now, but ideal for when your toddler graduates college. Best from 2019 through 2030."
97/100 Wine Spectator
"Just bottled, the 2011 Hermitage Blanc also shows the richer side of Hermitage with its full
bodied, voluptuously textured and up
front profile. Honeysuckle, licorice, toast, citrus oil and liquid mineral
like qualities all emerge from this beauty, and it stays beautifully fresh and focused on the palate. A blend of mostly Marsanne, yet with roughly 20% Roussanne, from the lErmite, Les Rocoules, Maison Blanche and Peleat lieux
dits, this substantial white should be consumed over the coming 2
4 years, or forgotten for a decade or more. It will have over two decades of longevity. One of the highlight visits during my time spent working in the Northern Rhone, Jean
Louis Chave (who is often called 'The Pope of Hermitage' by others) makes some of the most profound wines in the world today."
96/100 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"Light yellow. Intense scents of nectarine, pear skin and lemon curd, with complicating floral and mineral notes gaining power with air. Broad and fleshy but tightly focused, offering vibrant orchard and pit fruit flavors and a refreshingly bitter note of citrus pith. Dry and nervy on the penetrating, powerful. sharply focused finish, which leaves sexy honeysuckle and ginger notes behind. I suspect that this wine will age gracefully on its tension and balance."
