Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage Blanc 1998

An unforgettable and totally brilliant wine that could come from no other terroir – and no other producer. The aromas of citrus oils and ripe citrus fruits are not overly toasty or oaky. There's a little touch of barley sugar and lavender honey that leads into a very full-bodied, rich and mouthcoating palate, with citrus oil viscosity. Importantly, this has well-balanced acidity along with an inner tension and a long saline finish. Very powerful, yet perfectly balanced, which is quite a feat. 100/100
