Hermitage Blanc Chave 2021

Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage Blanc 2021 is a full-bodied, single-vineyard red wine produced from Syrah grapes in the northern Rhône Valley. With prized vineyard holdings in the cru of Hermitage (as well as St-Joseph), Domaine Jean-Louis Chave is the pre-eminent name in northern Rhône winemaking. Current custodian of the domaine, Jean-Louis is, almost incredibly, the 16th generation of Chave family winemaker. "A tasting of the constituent lieux-dits before blending shows a white Hermitage that is about tension, freshness and minerality. It`s zesty and crisp, with good acidity and will drink well from the outset. This isn`t as concentrated as some recent vintages, but it`s still a highly impressive wine that will age with interest." Decanter, 2022
