Hermitage Blanc, Chante Alouette--Vintage 2005
Rhône. French-bottled: Chapoutier
In original carton
Tasting note: Chapoutier's biggest production cuvée is his Chante Alouette, and the 2005 Ermitage Chante Alouette exhibits terrific notes of marzipan/almond, and honeyed citrus. It boasts great acidity with a terrific finish loaded with hints of acacia blossom and marmalade. This is a big wine that should drink well young, go through a weird stage, and then re-emerge 10 or so years down the line. 94 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #175, February 2008
