Domaine Jean-Louis Chave

Hermitage Blanc Marsanne Roussanne 2015

Where do I begin… this wine is stunning.

It is positively golden in color with concentrated notes of caramel, butterscotch, vanilla, creme brûlée, dried apricot, yellow apple,peach, nectarine, yellow cherry, kumquat, baked quince, lemon curd, honeysuckle, butter cream, lavender,, dried herbs, fennel, beeswax, honey, chamomile, hazelnut, praline, honey, & wet stones…

It’s textured!!! Waxy & mouth coating, full bodied, round, & opulent.

Alcohol is high at 14.5% ABV — it’s warming but balanced and integrated with the deeply rooted flavors and elevated, vibrant acidity. Yum!!!!!

@Dave Clinton It was! The opposite of a patio pounder 😂 as much as we love those, too. But damn, it was a wine to sip and savor slowly.

2022 vintage. Medium heavy body. Little acidity with ample golden mead and honey vibes. Wanted some acidity and/or mineral visitation. Alas! Still definitely delicious and should hold up for a spell. 06.11.25. — a month ago

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc White Rhone Blend 2023

Big big concentration in the roussanne-heavy blend, with enough minerality and great texture to hold the big wave of alcohol — 3 days ago

Côtes de Tablas Blanc White Rhone Blend 2020

- 38% Viognier 32% Grenache Blanc 22% Marsanne 8% Roussanne. Nose has wet hay, marzipan, fresh and fermented pear, wet limestone. Fairly intense but lovely and balanced in the mouth. A bit of unripe pear fruit, grapefruit zest, loads of stony minerality taking over as the finish progresses, with a nice bitter prickle at the end. Very nice acids. I like this a lot. — 18 days ago

Good stuff

Esprit Blanc de Tablas Roussanne Blend 2019

[63% Roussanne, 20% Grenache Blanc, 14% Picpoul, 3% Picardan] This is wonderfully floral, wildflowers, mineral, and white stonefruits, very crisp and refreshing, as well as quite youthful, the Picpoul assures lots of acidity, balanced, long finish, this seems built to go at least 10 years from the vintage, excellent!! — 20 days ago
