Wine Description:
The Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage Blanc is an iconic white wine from the esteemed Hermitage appellation in France's Northern Rhône Valley. Made predominantly from Marsanne, with a small percentage of Roussanne, the wine is a benchmark for the region. Jean-Louis Chave, a scion of one of the Rhône's most venerable wine families, carefully manages the vineyards and adheres to traditional winemaking methods. The unique terroir of Hermitage, a blend of granite and limestone soils, lends the wine a complex mineral backbone. Aged in oak barrels, it gains additional layers of complexity, encompassing a bouquet of white flowers, stone fruits, and a touch of honey. This wine is a compelling example of what Rhône Valley whites can achieve.

Wine Expert Note:

The Hermitage Blanc from Domaine Jean-Louis Chave is a masterclass in the power and grace of Rhône white wines. On the nose, it greets you with an opulent aroma of white peaches, honeysuckle, and a wisp of nutmeg. The palate is luxuriously textured, with flavors of ripe pear, apricot, and a subtle note of beeswax. What sets this wine apart is its balance: the richness is perfectly offset by an underpinning of fresh acidity and mineral depth. The finish is long and nuanced, with lingering notes of almond and a touch of white pepper. This is a white wine for red wine drinkers, substantial yet finessed, and it would shine exceptionally well with a range of rich cuisines.

It takes a moment to understand the place of Château des Tours within the modern history of the southern Rhone Valley. Château des Tours is the home family estate of Emmanuel Reynaud. In 1997, after the passing of his uncle Jacques, Emmanuel also took on the operation of Chateaux Rayas and Fonsalette. Their is perhaps no estate of greater acclaim in the souther Rhone than Rayas, critic Robert Parker once said that the 1990 Chateau Rayas was the most prizes wine is his collectoon. The lineage of Château des Tours, and its winemaker is beyond compare. This wine is 100% Grenache Blanc. The vineyards are not certified organic due to Emmanuel's dislike of regulatory processes. However, the practices followed are in full compliance with organic requirements.
