Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Yohan Castaing - 13 Mar 25
2022 was the earliest harvest in the estate's history. Jean-Louis Chave harvested the Roucoule and Péléat plots on August 23-24, while Maison Blanche and Ermite were picked on August 28. The 2022 Hermitage Blanc reveals a complex, ripe bouquet of almonds, white flowers, honey and spices mingled with baked orchard fruits. Full-bodied and concentrated, the palate is rich and dense with a suave texture, a multidimensional core of fruit framed by chalky dry extracts and a delicate, phenolic, gastronomic bitterness. Slightly austere at this stage, this gastronomic wine is built for the cellar.
Drinking Date: 2028 - 2042

Cask samples tasted at the domaine.Sample 1: Péléat. Very rich and honeyed nose, had just been racked the day before tasting – so a little mute.Sample 2: Rocoules. Rich, textured and charming – white flowers and jasmine.Sample 3: L'Hermite. Wonderful honeycomb nose with a crystalline purity. Has real freshness underneath the puppy-fat weight as well. Real purity and precision. (AC)

Hermitage Fine Wine

Hermitage

Hermitage, a prestigious Northern Rhône appellation, is famed for its exceptional red and white wines. The reds, made primarily from Syrah, are known for their intense flavours of dark berries, black olives, spices, and smoky, meaty notes, with structured tannins and long finishes. The whites, mainly from Marsanne and Roussanne, offer richness with balanced acidity and flavours of honey, stone fruits, and nuts. Top producers like Domaine Jean-Louis Chave, E. Guigal, and Domaine Delas Frères are celebrated for showcasing Hermitage's unique terroir and quality.
