| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.2 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 43 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by HPringle on 2/5/2024 & rated 90 points: Delicious but not as distinctive as other vintages of this great wine. Perhaps waiting a few more years- certainly no rush. (444 views) | | | Tasted by jviz on 5/26/2023 & rated 91 points: Served blind in a Zalto bdx. The nose is tropical, with a bit of verve. Kind of a less than fruity profile though and the oak seems to have receded quite a bit, just a hint of vanillin left. Alcohol a bit high but that was a nice tell. (1217 views) | | | Tasted by chatters on 3/10/2023: Coravin fun - Northern(ish) Rhone (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. Medium minus intensity aromas show a little stone fruit, waxy, oaky sweet spice, like the Ogier le Temps a little alcohol prickle. Juicy, a little stone fruit, touch of bitterness joins an oaky burr, a little glycerol waxiness, alcohol warmth on the finish, creamy elements with time...Hmm (1237 views) | | | Tasted by Lollipop on 1/28/2023 & rated 93 points: I love this wine. Decanted for 2h. Expressive nose -- almonds, pears and honeysuckle. A little lighter body than many Hermitage but plenty of acidity. Great food wine.
Tasted side-by-side with '15 Chave blanc. Very different styles. Personally the richness and body of the Chave won it for me but it was close and split the room.
The wine looks yellow colored. The legs are medium. Lemon, honeydew, pear and almond. The body is medium. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity. (1231 views) | | | Tasted by Carib on 1/1/2023 & rated 93 points: Refreshing minerality, with pear and citrus flavors. Nice long finish. Love the malolactic after-taste: almond, marzipan. Cheerful, lively. Impressively balanced. Drink now. (1192 views) | | | Tasted by Filippo on 8/30/2022 & rated 90 points: Surely a very nice wine but I am missing the background acidity that keeps things interesting. At least this bottle is somewhat flat. (1582 views) | | | Tasted by chatters on 2/6/2022: Birthday Sunday lunch (McLeay Street Bistro, Potts Point): From Coravin. Stone fruits, bees wax, a little oak, quite rich really with some texture, with time a little honey here as well as some marzipan/almond meal. Softly acidic, glycerol breadth like the georg breuer but without the acid line to offset. This tasted quite bitter with the scallops but worked well with the salmon and was lovely by itself as well. (2152 views) | | | Tasted by twain on 12/5/2021 & rated 93 points: Honeyed nose, rich and layered palate (1905 views) | | | Tasted by Flakehill3 on 9/11/2021 & rated 93 points: Wonderful depth (1995 views) | | | Tasted by danielbleier on 6/19/2021 & rated 92 points: Lighter in body and with greater minerality when tasted next to 2011 that was brought (by chance) to the same dinner. Citrus and stone fruit notes back by wet stone. Certainly lovely, but might need a year or 2 to mellow and open up. (2071 views) | | | Tasted by St. Joseph on 2/27/2021 & rated 88 points: Pretty heavy during the years! Drink now is my opinion (2017 views) | | | Tasted by rocknroller on 7/12/2020 & rated 92 points: Safely Summer Sort of Picnicking (Siggy & Jenny's Place, Mpls, MN): Light medium gold color. Small glass. Peach, citrus, dried apricot, floral, deep, great body and depth. In a great spot. 91+ to 92pts. (2683 views) | | | Tasted by Sovinator on 6/20/2020 & rated 91 points: Alluring notes of peach and limestone. Very nice wine, but certainly well short of what I would hope for in a white Hermitage. Missed the complexity and depth of flavor to be an outstanding wine. (2205 views) | | | Tasted by chatters on 3/31/2020: From Coravin. Butter, almond, peach and a little dried apricot, sweet spice, pear, very slight green almond and bees wax, a little lemon underpin as well. Hmm, softly engaging, the acidity is just about present enough. A little texture. I remember this being bolder and, well, a bit obvious last time but the peach and apricot notes are still present here as well. (2386 views) | | | Tasted by Aravind Asok on 3/11/2020: Double decanted. Notes from 45 min open. Closed nose with oil and honey, but just the barest tinge of citrus..lacking fruit. On the palate, good acidity, soft lemon, wet stone, a touch of white pepper, mineral oil...spicy finish. Meh. I expect a lot more oomph in an Hermitage blanc. (2071 views) | | | Tasted by Hanibal on 5/17/2019 & rated 91 points: wax, peach, pear, lemon zest, iodine, still a baby going to be even better in time. Super concentrated. Other things good out there beyond chard and sauv blanc ! (3293 views) | | | Tasted by danstrings on 12/20/2018 & rated 90 points: Lovely clean white Rhone - less of the thick exotic notes and more nutty minerality (2933 views) | | | Tasted by Joe Kane on 12/19/2018: Floral, oxidized orchard fruit. 100% Marssanne, 25% NFO. Oily, viscous, fat, opulent. Still has acid for a region know for over the top rich. (2498 views) | | | Tasted by SimonS on 9/14/2018: Delicious. (2807 views) | | | Tasted by MichelNL on 7/30/2018: De geur van zachte warme appelmoes. In een mond een mooi vet gevoel. Diep. Prachtig. Kopen en tien jaar laten rusten. (801 views) | | | Tasted by Avicenne on 6/20/2018 & rated 94 points: SAQ N° 12884499 90$ 100% Marsanne.
No 77 du Top 100 2015
«Magnifique, il dévoile un formidable éventail d’arômes : jasmin, chèvrefeuille, acacia et camomille à l’avant-plan, suivis par des flaveurs fruitées de carambole, pomme jaune et figue verte. La longue finale minérale offre juste assez de tension, tandis que le fruit et les notes florales s’entremêlent. À boire maintenant ou d’ici 2029. 500 caisses importées.»

Avec filet de flétan à la salsa de fraise.
Je n'ai pas des tonnes d'expériences en Hermitage blanc, mais celle-ci fut très appréciée.
C'est frais sur la cire d'abeille, le jasmin et la pêche. C'est complexe et ça s'étend avec des arômes de gallet mouillé.
En bouche, c'est riche. Pomme jaune. Noix. Et un peu d'amertume et discrète chauffe.
L'ensemble est bien ficelé. Impeccable. Peut-être que ça peut bien vieillir, mais c'est à mon gout maintenant.
Les prix des Chapoutier ont nettement augmenté depuis les dernières années et j'ai eu plusieurs déceptions. Mais celle-ci a rempli mes attentes.
***1/2 (3305 views) | | | Tasted by Xavier Auerbach on 6/18/2018 & rated 93 points: A private lunch (Restaurant Vineum, Rotterdam, NL): Floral, soft but fresh, elegant, rich and rounded, intense and lifted, touch of honey, very elegant and harmonious, so pure and flowing, juicy and stylish, very good length. A beauty. (2763 views) | | | Tasted by dvansteenderen on 6/18/2018 & rated 93 points: @ VINEUM. Brought in spontaneously by me because two bottles of the 2001 M. Chapoutier Ermitage Blanc De L'Orée were completely oxidized and by now had my heart set on a white Hermitage. This 2015 is young, but very delicious what so ever! (1967 views) | | | Tasted by chatters on 4/11/2018: Chapoutier Masterclass (Prince Sydney, 40 Hansard Street): Peaches and apricots, orchard fruits, very slight fig. Toasty oak, buttery notes and a certain waxy quality married to almond meal. Very rich. In the mouth it's juicy but more apples here; ripe and rich though, long, exceedingly pleasant, well balanced with some front of mouth burr and a little bitterness and non-intrusive alcohol warmth on the finish. Possibly a little too worked but it's relatively young and I like it rather a lot. (2504 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 12/5/2017: Waxy and lanolin and big on the nose, needs some time .

Regional History:
Phocaean Greeks established viticulture in the Rhone as far back as 600 BC, but until the 14th century the wines were not seen outside the region. The establishment of the Avignonese Papacy (1305-1377) brought fame to the region's wine-so much so that their Burgundian neighbors to the north banned wines from the Rhone in 1446, a measure that effectively cut off trade with England and other Northern European markets for over 200 years. Stretching southward from Lyon to just south of Avignon, the Rhone produces a wide variety of wines, with the appellations north of Valence producing the least (in volume), and the towns south of Montelimar producing prodigious amounts. As in other regions, the most interesting wines come from small farms. Saint-Joseph, in the northern Rhone, extends for some distance between Condrieu in the north to Saint-Peray in the south. The reds are made from Syrah and the rare whites from Marsanne and Roussanne, and Viognier.
### 2017 vintage ###
"The first red wines already tasted in the Northern Rhône promise a beautiful vintage, with a quality close to the 2015 or even the 2009 vintage" - NEWRHÔNE MILLESIMESHermitage Guide to Hermitage wine Guide to Cote Rotie - Read about the Northern Rhone Valley
• The appellation stretches over 3 communes in the Drôme "département" : Tain-l'Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage and Larnage.
• The soils are a combination of granite with alluvial quaternary delta deposits, and, on the eastern side, Pliocene clay. This diversity explains the numerous different names given to vineyard plots within the appellation : Bessards, Greffieux, Méal, Roucoule, Beaumes, etc.
• The meso-climate provides shelter from the north winds, where the majority of the slopes is well exposed, facing south.
•The vineyards area adds up to 134 hectares/331 acres, with an annual production of 3,635 hectoliters. Authorized maximum yield is 40 hectoliters/hectare (2.3 US tons/acres).
• Grape varieties : Syrah (an addition of up to 15% of Marsanne or Roussanne is allowed).
