{"product_id":"2014-chave-hermitage-blanc","title":"Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage Blanc 2014","description":"\u003cp\u003eTasted in components: #1, from Peleat: Vibrant and minerally, displaying superb clarity and lift. Tastes like a very serious Grand Cru white Burgundy, with vibrant citrus and orchard fruit character and a suave blend of power and finesse. #2, from Rocoules: More pit fruit and deeper and smokier in style, with emerging hints of sweet butter and iodine. #3, a blend of Rocoules and l'Ermite: Taut, focused and pure, offering densely packed orange and pear flavors and a sexy floral nuance. Rich yet nervy was well, displaying excellent closing thrust. The ultimate wine should be a great cellar candidate, possessing the richness of fruit to give some early appeal but the depth, structure and balance to age effortlessly, \u003cstrong\u003e Vinous Media 95-96\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChave continues to make a full-throttle, concentrated and unctuous Hermitage Blanc, and refuses to buy into the ridiculous trend toward making Sauvignon Blanc-like whites from this tiny, magical terroir. God bless him for that and there are few whites I’d rather drink than a mature Hermitage Blanc from this genius winemaker. Jean-Louis called 2014 a good year for the whites, and his 2014 Hermitage Blanc had just been bottled a month prior to my tasting. It has terrific minerality as well as classic stone fruits, buttered citrus, honeysuckle and crushed rock, full-bodied richness and an elegant, fresh, pure style. It will have two decades of longevity. \u003cstrong\u003e Wine Advocate 95\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vins Rare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46037430927599,"sku":"4932","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/7140\/9135\/files\/chave_hermitageblanc2021-LBL_d7b5bde8-b2cd-4589-a7aa-ae6c814c8ba9.png?v=1772598086","url":"https:\/\/vinsrare.com\/products\/2014-chave-hermitage-blanc","provider":"Vins Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
