Hermitage Blanc 1996 from Domaine Jean-Louis Chave: a white wine from the Rhône, where Marsanne and Roussanne unite on granitic soils. Fermented in barrels, it offers aromas of honeysuckle and damp stone, a creamy palate, and a saline finish. Perfect through 2026 with shellfish or cheeses.
Domaine Jean-Louis Chave
Since 1481, this family estate has embodied the pursuit of excellence and fidelity to the terroir of the Hermitage, in the northern Rhône valley.
- Terroir: Granitic and alluvial plots of the northern Rhône, where the chalky and mineral soils sculpt wines of rare precision.
- Winemaking: A subtle alliance between tradition and modernity – fermentation in barrels and vats, extended aging to reveal the purity of the fruit and the mineral tension.

Tasting notes for Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage Blanc 1996
To the eye: Yellow-green robe with golden highlights, of a silky intensity and crystalline brilliance, like a shard of stone polished by time.
On the nose: Delicate aromas of dried honeysuckle and camomile, followed by a saline touch of wet stone, then dry herbs and ripe fruit – apple and red berries – before ending on a discreet note of caramel and pastry.
On the palate: Elegant and creamy texture, carried by a lively acidity and a chalky minerality, stretching into a long and persistent finish where sweetness and tension intertwine.
Serve at 9°C in a white Burgundy-style wine glass to enhance its complexity.
Vintage 1996
A vintage defined by balance, where freshness and ripeness complement each other harmoniously, offering an ideal structure for aging.
- Aging potential: 10 to 15 additional years under optimal conditions – a cool cellar, away from light and vibrations.
