2020 vintage. Last tasted 01.09.25 (9.3) and 01.24.24 (9.3). Featuring less acidity than last two visits. Still nice but not as nice. Maybe an outlier bottle? 9.26.25. — 9 months ago

Earthy, masculine, but also has fruit. And, in case you were looking for a pairing, it goes with hot dogs. — 4 years ago

Beautiful garnet color. Smokey, musty, and earthy on the nose. Cedar, black raspberries, leather, and tobacco. Well integrated and not overpowering. Very satisfying finish. A real treat to drink a 40-year old wine that is so pleasing to smell, look at, and taste. — 4 years ago

9.1

On the smell, blackcurrant, jamy notes and some light dry notes. Very good acidity and tannin. Rounded with a stewed black fruit taste followed by light banana and tropical fruits. Still some time with a good overall balance — 7 years ago

M. Chapoutier “Chante-Alouette” Hermitage Blanc 2021, Rhône Valley, France 🇫🇷

Overview
A benchmark Hermitage Blanc made from Marsanne sourced from multiple parcels including Le Méal and Les Murets. The soils combine clay, limestone, and decomposed granite, contributing both richness and tension.

Aromas & Flavors
Complex and layered with quince, acacia honey, almond, ginger, and delicate floral tones. Hints of walnut and spice emerge with air.

Mouthfeel
Rich yet balanced with vibrant tension. The palate shows remarkable depth with a long, textured finish.

Food Pairings
Lobster, foie gras, roasted poultry, truffle dishes, or aged cheeses.

Verdict
A sophisticated Hermitage Blanc that showcases the complexity and longevity of Marsanne from this legendary hill.

🍷 Personal Pick
A horse of a different color, deeply complex and cerebral. The nutty, honeyed character balanced by vibrant tension makes this a fascinating and thought-provoking wine. — 3 months ago

More fruit forward than I expected from a Syrah. Still got the smoked meat aroma. Blackberries maybe?
