Domaine Paul Jaboulet Aine Hermitage La Chapelle Blanc 2020

Domaine Paul Jaboulet Aîné Hermitage La Chapelle Blanc 2020 is an extraordinary, rare Northern Rhône white wine that marks the triumphant return of the estate's flagship white cuvée. Produced from 100% old-vine Marsanne grapes entirely grown within the Maison Blanche lieu-dit, this wine shows off a brilliant pale gold color with bright blonde highlights. The sophisticated nose reveals an expressive and complex bouquet of fresh apricot, pear blossom, lemon verbena, and crushed flint, accented by subtle hints of cream and sandalwood. On the palate, it breaks from typical Hermitage Blanc convention by offering an exceptionally crisp, linear energy and elevated natural acidity. Its medium-to-full-bodied texture remains incredibly elegant and focused, seamlessly carrying a seamless core of stone fruit and vibrant citrus notes through to a textured, intensely mineral, and long-lasting finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with pan-seared scallops, roasted free-range chicken in a creamy mushroom sauce, grilled lobster, veal cutlets, and mature goat cheese.
