One of the world's greatest white wines, full stop. The Chave family has been making wine since 1481, sixteen generations of vignerons père en fils, originally in Saint-Joseph before buying land on the hill of Hermitage from 1865. Jean-Louis Chave's Hermitage Blanc is roughly 80% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne drawn from the family's oldest estate parcels: Les Rocoules, Maison Blanche, Péléat, and l'Hermite, with many vines well over 60 years old. The 2021 vintage is classical, cool, and tightly wound: fermented entirely in oak barrel, then aged roughly 30 months in barrique. Layers of quince, beeswax, acacia, smoked herb, and toasted hazelnut unfold over a granite-driven core. Built to drink now with air, or to cellar for decades. A reference-point bottle.

"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."

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast capon, lobster with drawn butter, sweetbreads, aged Comté or Beaufort, mushroom risotto with truffle, or simply a quiet evening of patient sipping over the course of many hours.

Tasting Profile

Quince, yellow apple, beeswax, acacia honey, smoked hazelnut, and white pepper over a core of granite minerality. Concentrated, layered, and ageworthy, with a long, lifted finish.
