La Chapelle Hermitage Blanc Sterimberg 2021
96 Decanter
Fragrant and super expressive on the nose smells incredibly aromatic with white flowers and stone fruit. Crisp and filling on the palate a gorgeous combination of spicy mouth watering zesty citrus and mineral touches - wet stone slate liquorice clove toast and lemon. Not so expansive more linear and direct quite tense with the flavours sticking to one line in the middle surrounded by a tight frame but there's complexity and concentration. Juicy clean long and tongue scraping. Feels well made. 3.30pH. Fermentation takes place in natural concrete eggs and a few demi-muids. Grapes come from 4 hectares farmed organically since 2016 and biodynamically since 2018. The first time this wine by Caroline Frey joins the Place de Bordeaux.
