M. Chapoutier Hermitage Chante-Alouette 2020
Description
Au nord du Rhône, on trouve l'appellation Hermitage, où, en plus de l'un des meilleurs syrahs du monde, on trouve une variété blanche d'une grande élégance, la Marsanne. Michel Chapoutier l'utilise pour élaborer ce blanc issu de trois parcelles qui combinent différents sols, apportant fraîcheur, salinité et acidité. Il a une texture qui met en valeur le passage en bouche, ce qui en fait un allié parfait pour les mets gras comme le foie gras ou les fruits de mer

L'avis des experts
Brilliant all the way, the 2020 Hermitage Chante-Alouette Blanc is a white readers should snatch up. All Marsanne from a mix of both granitic sites and more loess sites, brought up a mix of demi-muids and tank, it has a gorgeous perfume of honeyed peach, quince, crushed stone, and toast. With bright acidity, medium to full body, beautiful mid-palate depth, and a great finish, it will benefit from just a few years of bottle age and keep for 15+ years or more. It’s a quintessential Hermitage Blanc.
Appealingly ripe, primarily apricot fruit with mango notes. Full bodied but not fat, with good weight, presence, mango-like acidity and deft oak work helping to underpin the rich fruit. Tangy, spicy finish of impressive length, ending with tobacco and cinnamon. An authentic white Hermitage with freshness and grandeur but also drinkability. A very good, classic vintage of this cuvée.
Chapoutier's blended Hermitage blanc is the 2020 Hermitage Chante-Alouette, which was bottled at the end of August 2021. Almost entirely Marsanne, it boasts scents of gently toasted marshmallow, pear and citrus on the nose. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied and less concentrated than the selections parcellaires wines, but it’s charming and nicely focused, finishing long, vibrant and refreshing.
