Chapoutier’s Ermitage l’Ermite Blanc is one of the rarest and most extraordinary white wines produced anywhere in France: a pure Marsanne from the Ermite lieu-dit at the summit of the Hermitage hill

while the fruit glistens through the extremely lengthy finish

as is standard for every Grange vintage

with a concentrated core of citrus and orchard fruit supported by vibrant acidity

mulberries and blackberries

The Castelnuovo dell’Abate zone’s combination of galestro (clay-limestone) and alberese (compact limestone) soils

mineral-dominant limestone and clay on the southern boundary of the appellation that produces wines of greater precision and mineral depth than the more famous Pommard Premier Crus of Rugiens and Epenots

and produces wines of a slightly fuller

translucency and structural complexity

producing wines of attractive early fruit appeal and supple tannin structure that provides the ideal context for a wine of this delicate character to express its full aromatic complexity without the austerity of cooler vintages

mineral finish of genuine village Gevrey character

the wine reflects the classic Chablis combination of purity
