Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage Blanc
Wine Details
Wine Description
(2009 Vintage) An intriguing nose of hazelnut, dried flower and peach, similar flavours on the palate with gentle honeycomb notes, star anise and lemon, rich and intense but crisp and energetic wine with it. A vital, fragrant white Rhone of great balance.

International Wine CellarPure, subtle aromas of yellow plum, spices, flowers and nutty oak. At once sweet and gripping, with a glyceral middle given shape by flavors of lemon skin and spices. Very subtle and very long, finishing with terrific backbone.
