{"product_id":"hermitage-blanc-chave-2012","title":"Hermitage Blanc Chave 2012","description":"With prized vineyard holdings in the cru of Hermitage (as well as St-Joseph), Domaine Jean-Louis Chave is the pre-eminent name in northern Rhône winemaking. Current custodian of the domaine, Jean-Louis is, almost incredibly, the 16th generation of Chave family winemaker. The Chave Hermitage blanc is a blend of around 85% Marsanne and 15% Roussanne blended from the family`s vineyard holdings across nine of the 18 climats of Hermitage. \"Much more open, fleshy and sexy, the 2012 Hermitage Blanc was just bottled a month prior to this tasting. Coming from l’Ermite, Les Rocoules, Maison Blanche and Peleat lieux-dits, it’s always a rough blend of 80% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne that’s aged in barrel. Loaded with notions of honeysuckle, orange marmalade, powered rock, buttered citrus and green almond, it’s full-bodied, rich, upfront and fruit loaded. While I think it will be a relatively accessible early in its life, it has the concentration to hold for two decades.\" Wine Advocate, 2014","brand":"Domaine Jean Louis Chave","offers":[{"title":"Duty Paid","offer_id":62412997656906,"sku":"HED88447","price":330.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/7696\/2634\/files\/HED88447.jpg?v=1781894995","url":"https:\/\/hedonism.co.uk\/products\/hermitage-blanc-chave-2012","provider":"Hedonism Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
