Hermitage Blanc 2000 Chave

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (95)

A 1,000-case blend of 80% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne, the profound 2000 Hermitage blanc boasts a terrific perfume of honeysuckle, white flowers, peaches, citrus, and minerals. Displaying an unctuous texture along with tremendous glycerin, richness, and depth, it will undoubtedly close down after a few years in the bottle, but for now, it is a spectacularly rich, multidimensional white Hermitage to drink young, then forget about for 5-10 years, after which it will last for 15-20 years.

Even more honeyed than the 2011 and here it?s spiced like heather honey. But there?s apricot and bitter orange too, maybe even barley sugar but without the sweetness. Long and savoury with that spiced-honey flavour going on ad infinitum.
