E. Guigal Hermitage Blanc

Blommigt och lite persika på näsan. Kraftig eksmak med kola och smör. Lite låg syra.

Tasty, great bouquet, but showing a touch of diesel. Drink soon.

Had this at Jeremy Tincher’s wine tasting. More sweet than dry but very nice flavor. Would be great for sipping but too sweet to drink with a meal.

95% marsanne, 5% rousanne. Minerals and floral, white flowers.

Hay yellow; intense, sweet’ish nose, honey; buttery attack, well rounded, good acidity level, nice intense taste throughout, broad and honeyed, no layers or depth as such, but a good “one-dimensional” experience throughout

Vintus Trip preceeded by 2 days in Paris; 4/14/2023-4/20/2023 : ‘Good for 20yrs of aging.’ Did he say, Chave Hermitage Rouge is to be drunk before the Chave Blanc? More mineral aromas. Absolutely, totally f****** pretty aromas. Soft and supple, not distinctly new oak. Almond paste. 93% Marsanne, and 7% Roussanne

This bottling (which is often unfairly forgotten entirely in favour of the Lieu Dit) has been excellent in recent vintages and the 2019 is no different. Beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers, peach, lime, orange blossom, spice and crushed stone. The palate is poised and superbly balanced with lovely texture and concentration and refined acidity through the fine finish. My recent note on the 2017 shows this wine can develop and age nicely over the short term, I have no doubt …

Ripe, lush, round, and loaded with flowers, white peach, and tropical fruits, with just a touch of vanilla bean and spice in the nose and in the finish. Drink from 2022-2027.
