Paul Jaboulet Aine Hermitage Blanc Chevalier de Sterimberg

Floral Hermitage med 70/30 Marianne Rousanne. Hederlig syre til å være hvit Rhône. God vin.

Others at the table liked this better than I did. 100% marsanne with 14% alcohol, it just came across as waxy and strong. I suspect I'd have enjoyed it more when it was younger.

Un vino sorprendente. Non mi aspettavo granché e invece mi trovo un Hermitage bianco nella miglior finestra possibile, in grande equilibrio tra tutte le sue parti. Un naso elegante, nessuna esagerazione ossidativa, un bellissimo olfatto mentolato, balsamico, anice, fiori gialli in piena maturazione, sbuffi di miele. La bocca, pur peccando in persistenza, è piena, in grande armonia, con un’apprezzabile grado di freschezza vista la tipologia. Bello!

Nose: sweet pear like qiuligao Palate: acidity is too low for me to balance the oilly body.

Paul Jaboulet Aine Masterclass with the winemaker in London (Wine Society 150th Anniversary) : Beeswax, cheesy nose. Long palate of crystaline fruit and biscuit. More on the delicate than powerful side. 93-94

From mag. Too cold initially, don't serve over chilled. 60% Marsanne, 40% Roussane. Refined nose with pear, peach, wax and toast. A savoury edge. Full bodied and concentrated with textured, oily strucutre. Great persistance. Drinking very well now but no rush.

From mag. Medium gold. Peach, pear, lemon peel and a smoky edge. Full bodied and oily with great palate intensity and nice persistance on the finish. Touch of honey. Not overly heavy. Drinking well but no rush.

Grapefruit, tangerine and yellow peach with chrysanthemum blossom, honeycomb, oatmeal, brioche and wet stones with hints of glycerin and hazelnut. Waxy yet very precise with focused and subtle acidity, buttressed by sweet ripe fruit and pronounced minerality. Undoubtedly a bargain with such appealing nuttiness.

With a touch of vanilla along with citrus and a hint of pineapple and Meyer lemon, the wine is fresh and oily with a hint of white peach in the finish. Still, a bit tight at the moment, give it a bit more time in the cellar before pulling a cork. Drink from 2022-2032.

A little simple because it was served PnP. Keep it for another few years or open it a day in advance.

Clear light gold. Beautiful nose, honeycomb, spice, orchard fruit and fresh apricot. Delicious pear and spice flavours and rich dry finish.

Pale green/gold colour. Good legs. Intense nose which has hints of peach. Lovely intensity of peach/stone fruit on the palate. Very good acidity still, making it refreshing and a good food wine. Some length too. Lovely wine.

As you may know, this wine is named after the knight who is the protagonist in the whole Hermitage story, and is a blend of 65% Marsanne and 35% Roussanne. It is fermented in oak, and matures for a year in the same barrels. On the first day of opening (yesterday) the wine didn't really prove itself, bit was a nice, slightly fatty white wine. Hardly something worthy of being called Hermitage. Today it's a different story, and the wine …

Blind tasting. 8'°C. Nice nose of flint and roasted cereals. Mouth straight simple and banlanced for a suspected grenache blanc from gauby.

Way too early. Tight nose, great citrus and pear flavours Dry finish.

Découvertes en Vallée du Rhône; 4/15/2019-4/16/2019 (Ampuis, Mauves and Tain-l'Hermitage) : Walk around tasting talking with the producers, brief note. Ok but I'd expect a wine this young to be more pristine. Disappointing today.

A week in the Northern Rhone; 12/7/2018-12/15/2018 (Lyon, Vienne, Ampuis, Chavanay, Hermitage, Cornas, St. Joseph, Condrieu & Paris) : Tasted at Vineum. 1/3 Roussane, 2/3 Marsanne - fermented in a combination of stainless steel and cement eggs and then oak barrels for 9 months (15% new). Nose is very restrained given the high % of rousanne in the blend. Color - pale yellow. Some oak is evident on the palate and the wine is pretty tightly would up at this …

Citrus and pear aromas. A bit aggressive acidity and with a certain heat. Round, fruity and with a touch of bitterness appearing towards the finish. Overall very good despite the fact that this note seems to indicate that was not the case. Needs a bit of time to come together thought. 88-90 range.

2015 vintage

Mainly from marsanne from Recoules and Murots sections. Fine aromatics of abricots and citrus as main components but also other shades that I can't really distinguish, i.e. nice complexity. Lively and fat, round but still with good acidity. Very long finish. A rather rich but nicely balanced wine which gradually gains more complexity in the glass. Quite like. 91-93p

Second Sunday Group: 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape (Barb's) : Double blind. Good color with notes of orchard fruit. The palate is similar to the bouquet and also has a good bit of acid. A light, subtle wine. I guessed Chardonnay from the Mâconnais.
