Hermitage Blanc 2022

2022 was the earliest harvest in the estate's history. Jean-Louis Chave harvested the Roucoule and Péléat plots on August 23-24. while Maison Blanche and Ermite were picked on August 28. The 2022 Hermitage Blanc reveals a complex. ripe bouquet of almonds. white flowers. honey and spices mingled with baked orchard fruits. Full-bodied and concentrated. the palate is rich and dense with a suave texture. a multidimensional core of fruit framed by chalky dry extracts and a delicate. phenolic. gastronomic bitterness. Slightly austere at this stage. this gastronomic wine is built for the cellar. (YC. 3/2025)
