2014 Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage Blanc, France, Northern Rhone, Wine Review
These wines can be hard to judge as to when they are open for business. This bottle was drinking beautifully. Golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is great with peach, wax, buttered popcorn and lemon. Also a nice touch of minerality. Full bodied. Oily texture. Good balance. On the palate, dried peach, apples with underlying minerals and slight char. Long finish. This is complex and deep. Probably not at peak but showing a nice maturity. Drink over the next twenty years. This would work well with Veal Chops.
