A full body, heavy blanc Hermitage, 66% Marsanne and 34% Roussanne. Yellow hay color, brilliant. Noticed nose of pear, strudel apple, even guave. Thick palate, meaty in structure (for wine), very balanced. Missing the final kick of the minerality. Great experience.

Jaboulet’s top white Hermitage. Blend of 2/3 Marsanne and 1/3 Roussanne, from 35 years old vines on limestone soils. (For a number of years, there was a cuvée of 100% Marsanne known as La Chapelle blanc, discontinued since 2014). Partially fermented and aged in concrete eggs and some 600-liter oak barrels. Elegant, complex nose with aromas of pear, some citrus and lots of minerals (crushed stones). Beeswax and floral notes. Full-bodied, oily, enough acidity, good freshness.
