This is always one of our favourite white wines and, for Hermitage, it’s an incredible bargain. At 6 years of age this is evolving beautifully, and Robert Parker has the drinking window open until 2035, so there’s absolutely no rush.  If you are a fan of premium French whites, then make sure you get a few bottles of this. Jeb Dunnuck calls this “quintessential Hermitage Blanc” and we couldn’t agree more. 

“Hermitage Chante-Alouette Blanc is a white readers should snatch up. All Marsanne from a mix of both granitic sites and more loess sites, brought up a mix of demi-muids and tank, it has a gorgeous perfume of honeyed peach, quince, crushed stone, and toast. With bright acidity, medium to full body, beautiful mid-palate depth, and a great finish, it will benefit from just a few years of bottle age and keep for 15+ years or more.” – Jeb Dunnuck
