Jean Louis Chave Hermitage 1996 blanc
The Hermitage Blanc 1996 from Domaine Jean-Louis Chave reveals the granitic terroir of Hermitage. Crafted from Marsanne and Roussanne, it offers notes of honeysuckle, a silky texture, and a chalky minerality. Perfect for cellaring, it pairs beautifully with lobster or poultry in sauce.
Domaine Jean-Louis Chave
Since 1481, the Chave family has embodied the viticultural excellence of Hermitage, rooted in the granitic hillsides of the northern Rhône Valley.
- Terroir: Soils of granite, loess, and alluvium on the steep slopes of Hermitage, endowing the wines with a chalky minerality and a unique tension.
- Vinification: Traditional methods combining fermentation in oak barrels and extended aging, yielding cuvées of rare precision and depth.
Tasting notes for Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage Blanc 1996
To the eye: Golden robe with amber highlights, of a silky and slightly unctuous texture, betraying its maturity and elegance.
On the nose: Aromas of dried honeysuckle, chamomile, and meadow grass, lifted by a saline touch and a hint of wet stone, evoking the granitic soils of the appellation.
On the palate: Lively and precise attack, driven by a taut acidity and a chalky minerality, leading to a long and harmonious finish where notes of honey and gentle spices intertwine.
Serve between 12 and 14°C in a Burgundy-style white wine glass to reveal its full complexity.
Vintage 1996
A vintage marked by optimal ripeness of the grapes, producing Hermitage white wines of great aromatic richness and a well-balanced structure.
- Aging potential: This wine can continue to improve for 10 to 15 years, provided it is stored under ideal conditions (stable temperature, controlled humidity, and away from light).
