Emphatically floral, with powerful pear, and Meyer lemon qualities, building iodine, fennel and mineral notes. Pungent citrus fruit, pear skin and jasmine on the nose. Weighty yet lithe as well, showing serious intensity to its sappy orchard and citrus fruit flavors. Spicy and incisive, showing sharp definition to its fresh yellow plum and orange flavors. Mineral notes build with air and add fine delineation and back-end cut. Richer still, displaying an array of ripe orchard and pit fruit qualities and building floral and mineral notes. A hint of tangerine emerges with the air and adds energy to lingering peach nectar and pear liqueur notes.

Tasting Notes

Upon pouring, the wine releases an aromatic symphony of white flowers, honeysuckle, and stone fruits, leading into a palate of exceptional depth. Layers of ripe peach, apricot, and citrus zest intertwine with nuances of hazelnut and a subtle minerality. The texture is rich and unctuous, balanced by a vibrant acidity that imparts freshness. The finish is enduring, leaving a lingering impression of the wine's complexity and potential for graceful aging. Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage Blanc 2020 is an eloquent expression of the Hermitage terroir.
