The Chave family has been making wine in the Northern Rhône since 1481 and is best known for its historic wines from Hermitage. L'Hermitage Blanc is made primarily from Marsanne with a smaller amount of Roussanne, assembled from several parcels across the Hermitage hill. This blending of different sites and soil types gives the wine both richness and freshness. The 2023 is generous and layered, with ripe pear, quince and stone fruit joined by white flowers, almond and subtle honeyed notes. Broad and textured on the palate, it retains a fresh, mineral character that balances the richness and carries through the long, savory finish. Varietal: Marsanne, Roussanne Appellation: Hermitage, Northern Rhône, France Farming: Organic practices Style: White. Rich, textured and mineral
