JL CHAVE SELECTION
Hermitage Blanche 2018
- 99 points -

A spectacularly textured white, it’s oily but so focused and precise with vibrancy on the center palate. It has plenty of baked lemons, wild herbs, verbena and quince peel. It’s medium-bodied with so much intensity on the palate. It’s driven with so much tension. Very silky texture with a constant kick of spices. There is a chewiness to the long, vivid finish.
