Really fresh core in the nose and palate. I've been put off by young white Rhone before (overly rich for my palate) but tasting this with age is a true revelation tonight. — 22 days ago

Ex Voto Ermitage Blanc Marsanne Roussanne 2013

90% Marsanne and 10% Roussanne, aged 30 months in new oak. Some will say this is over the hill, others will say it needs hours of air. It’s undeniably an eclectic and intriguing wine. Honey and toasted nuts. Rich and full with an unctuous sherry finish. Paired with chicken liver mousse. — a month ago

I’m sure I’d be in the “over the hill” camp. I personally struggle to enjoy wines where I can perceive oxidative notes, even in wines where they’re supposed to be there (I would place Hermitage Blanc in the “not supposed to be there”camp.)

Mature. Of course.
But…, it keeps on changing in the glass….
So much life and panache….!
A fantastic example of aged Hermitage.

Domaine Tempier

Bandol Blanc White Blend 2023

Pale lemon in color.

Strong nose and medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.

Showing limes, grapefruits, gooseberries, earth and spices.

Long finish with limes and almonds.

This is a delicious Bandol white. Rich, tangy and fruit forward. Has a New world Sauvignon Blanc feel.

Expressive and spicy. Complex and nicely balanced. Really enjoyed the nose here.

Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years and see how it evolves.

A great sipping wine that will pair nicely with food too.

A blend of 60% Clairette, 30% Ugni Blanc with 10% Vermentino and Bourboulenc. Grapes are handpicked, and aged for 10 months in used oak barrels.

12.5% alcohol by volume .

92 points.

$50.

Domaine Jean-Louis Chave

Hermitage Blanc Marsanne Roussanne 2021

Popped and poured, enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2021 pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of yellow apple, peach, honeysuckle, squishy, pineapple, clove. On the palate, the wine is dry, but showing significant fruit. So much so that it almost gives the impression of being off-dry. Acid is medium. Confirming the notes from the nose where the honeysuckle note is crazy powerful. The finish is long and there’s a slightly oily texture. A great, young Chave Blanc with a very bright future. Drink now with patience to allow it to open and drink through 2046+. Bottle 05182
