About this Item

2000 Hermitage Blanc
2 (1 x 2) 750ml

The Chave family, now 16 generations strong, has been producing wine since 1481. Managed by Jean-Louis, Chave produces the greatest Hermitage wines in the world. They are regarded as royalty in terms of French winemaking and follow a very traditional winemaking approach. Renowned for their blending skill, Chave has never released a single vineyard wine.

This wine is made primarily from the Marsanne grape variety, which dominates the vineyards of Hermitage. Marsanne contributes to the wine's rich texture, with flavors of ripe stone fruits, honey, and nuts. A small percentage of Roussanne may also be blended in, adding floral and aromatic complexity.
