Fresh apricot, pear blossom, lemon verbena, crushed flint, cream and sandalwood on the nose. Full-bodied, yet elegant and fresh, with vibrant acidity and a supple, seamless palate. Mineral, textured finish. From organically grown grapes. Try from 2023.

Also shockingly light and stripped, the 2020 Hermitage La Chapelle Blanc has mid-weight aromas and flavors of honeysuckle, green almond, and citrus. It’s a significant step down from past vintages, and this estate seems to continue making fresh, lively, yet dilute wines.

(91+ points) The 2020 Hermitage la Chapelle Blanc (last bottled in 2014) comes entirely from the Maison Blanche lieu-dit and is 100% Marsanne. Like the other Jaboulet whites from 2020, it's on the leaner side, with pear and citrus enriched by some leesy character. Medium-bodied, it's long and elegant, even if it's a significant departure in style from most examples of Hermitage Blanc. With it's higher-than-normal acid levels and crisper feel, it's conceivable that I've underrated it as a young wine and that it will blossom in time.- JC

Bright, crisp, fresh, and juicy with a sweet citrus and floral character, leaving you with a creamy, vibrant finish. Produced from 100% Marsanne, this is the first time the wine has been produced since 2014. Drink from 2025-2037.
