Decanter: 96 Points
A tasting of the constituent lieux-dits before blending shows a white Hermitage that is about tension freshness and minerality. It's zesty and crisp with good acidity and will drink well from the outset. This isn't as concentrated as some recent vintages but it's still a highly impressive wine that will age with interest. Picked on 23 August. (Drink between 2033-2043)

Tasted from multiple tanks and barrels the 2021 Hermitage Blanc shows the fresher elegant style of the vintage while still being nicely concentrated and rich. It has plenty of classic Chave rich buttered stone fruits medium to full body a good spine of acidity and a great finish. It will unquestionably be a beautiful Hermitage Blanc.
