WINE DESCRIPTION
Yann Chave Crozes-Hermitage Blanc is a white wine produced by Yann Chave, a renowned winemaker from the Crozes-Hermitage appellation in the northern Rhône Valley of France. The wine is made from grapes grown in vineyards with granite and limestone soils, which impart a unique minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing of the grapes and fermentation in stainless steel tanks, resulting in a fresh and vibrant wine with aromas of citrus and white flowers. Yann Chave Crozes-Hermitage Blanc is a perfect example of the elegance and finesse that can be achieved with white wines from the northern Rhône Valley.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Yann Chave Crozes-Hermitage Blanc is a dry white wine with intense aromas of honey, citrus and tropical fruit.On the palate, it has a refreshing acidity and a slight bitterness. The finish is long and complex, with notes of white flowers, stone fruit, and a hint of spice. This is a very balanced and elegant white wine that pairs perfectly with fish and white meat dishes. Enjoy this wine chilled to experience its full potential.

ORIGINS
Winery: Yann Chave
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
