Typically the Chave Hermitage blanc exhibits diverse aromas of apricots, honeysuckle, white peaches and grilled nuts and an equally complex palate of candied citrus fruits, honey, vanilla, almonds and minerals underscored by a fine acidity which imparts its great longevity. This is a wine that can ‘close down’ and become somewhat mute in adolescence (at around 5-7 years of age) but that then re-emerges at around 10 years-old showing even greater concentration and complexity.

The 1989 Hermitage Blanc is low in acidity, expansive, and weighty, and makes for a huge, chewy mouthful of white wine. The honeyed, somewhat unctuous personality of the wine is more dominant in the 1989 than in the 1988, but there remains the head-turning, beautiful, flowery aromas, sensational concentration, super ripeness, and low acidity. Chave believes the latter component is always a characteristic of the greatest Hermitage vintages. 92/100 Robert Parker

The 2002 Hermitage blanc exhibits abundant amounts of acacia flowers, honeyed citrus, and a hint of orange marmalade in a ripe, elegant, medium-bodied style. Because of its low acidity, it is best consumed during its first 5-7 years of life. What Chave accomplished in the extremely challenging 2002 vintage is unquestionably noteworthy. Not because of tiny yields and small grapes, but due to Chave’s decision to eliminate every grape except the very best, 2002 is a small crop. 90/100 Robert Parker

"The exuberant 2007 Hermitage Blanc reveals notes of petroleum, crushed rocks, earth, white currants and peaches, an unctuous texture, high glycerin and good acidity.
