Another heavenly white from this estate is the 2020 Hermitage Blanc, which is the usual 80% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne from a mix lieux-dits. Incredibly perfumed with notes of acacia flowers, buttered stone fruits, toasted brioche, honeysuckle, and crushed stone, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a seamless, layered texture, beautiful mid-palate depth, and a great finish. The purity, balance, and intensity here are just about off the charts, and this beauty deserves a solid decade of bottle age, although you'll be excused if you drink one in its youth as well.

Domaine Jean-Louis Chave, a benchmark in the northern Rhône, produces Hermitage Blanc from old-vine Marsanne and Roussanne across multiple estate parcels. The 2020 vintage was hand-harvested, fermented, and aged in oak demi-muids, yielding depth and layered complexity. Each plot adds to the wine’s balance of richness and minerality.

As one of France’s great white wines, it offers both immediate power and long aging potential. Ideal with lobster, roast poultry, or creamy vegetable dishes.
