Domaine Jean-Louis Chave

Hermitage Blanc Marsanne Roussanne 2021

Jay Kline

9.4

Popped and poured, enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2021 pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of yellow apple, peach, honeysuckle, squishy, pineapple, clove. On the palate, the wine is dry, but showing significant fruit. So much so that it almost gives the impression of being off-dry. Acid is medium. Confirming the notes from the nose where the honeysuckle note is crazy powerful. The finish is long and there’s a slightly oily texture. A great, young Chave Blanc with a very bright future. Drink now with patience to allow it to open and drink through 2046+. Bottle 05182

Tablas Creek Vineyard

Esprit Blanc de Tablas Roussanne Blend 2022

Freddy R. Troya

9.5

Tablas Creek is the world's first Regenerative Organic Certified vineyard in addition to Biodynamic Viticulture and the pioneer California Rhone’s movement in Paso Robles AVA, which has a pedigree and collaboration between the Haas family & Perrin’s from Cháteau Beaucastel in Rhône, France by the mid 80’s.

The V.2022 Esprit de Tablas Blanc is their flagship white blend of 33% Roussanne, 32% Grenache Blanc, 14% Picpoul Blanc, 8% Clairette Blanche, 8% Picardan, and 5% Bourboulenc that were chosen from the top lots of 6 white Rhone varieties propagated from budwood cuttings from the Château de Beaucastel estate.

This is an incredibly complex white like no other; mineral-driven, savory, with a nice green sliced apple aromatic notes. On the palate, the mix of lemon and pineapple with some hint of salinity twist your tongue nicely. The overall mouthfeel combining the array of tropical fruits, herbs and the intense long, but not-overpowering finish makes it a top-notch white that differentiate from many produced in the Adelaida District in Paso. A truly winner! — 4 days ago
