Note di degustazione
While I wasn’t able to taste a 2013, I was able to try the 2012 Hermitage la Chapelle Blanc again. Still youthful, vibrant and fresh, it offers massive minerality to go with notions of lime, mint, almond paste and ripe apple. Full-bodied, tight, backward and crisp, give it another year or two and drink bottles over the following 10-15 years or more.

(all marsanne, from Rocoules): Bright yellow. Intensely perfumed aromas of poached pear, sweet butter, chamomile and iodine, with a sexy floral nuance emerging with aeration. Rich but lively and precise on the palate, offering deeply concentrated orchard and citrus fruit flavors and a touch of toastiness. Dusty minerals sharpen the finish, which lingers with outstanding tenacity and gentle sweetness. For such a powerful wine, it leaves a surprising impression of elegance.
