Lot #249. M. Chapoutier Hermitage L'Ermite Blanc 2004

Description: Consists of 6 Bottles, 0.75L
Packaging: OWC.
Region: France, Rhône, Hermitage.
Score: 100 RP.
"A compelling, profoundly great wine is the 2004 Ermitage l’Ermite blanc. This is extremely limited in availability, but the light gold color offers up a liqueur of pears, wet rocks, and honey. Citrus oil, viscosity, extraordinary richness, and acidity make this wine (like all of these Ermitages, made from 100% old-vine Marsanne) just exquisite. There is nothing like these wines anywhere in the world, and the fact that the single vineyard Ermitages are aged in 100% new oak, yet show no trace of oak whatsoever is mind-boggling. This is exquisite wine . . ." Wine Advocate #170, Apr 2007
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $1,600
