Jean-Louis Chave considers that his white Hermitage should either be drunk in its youth, or mature, when it has emerged from its adolescent sulk. It has long been a favourite of mine, since a visit to the estate in the early 1980s, and this did not disappoint. It has aged beautifully, with layers of flavour and texture, a satisfying mouthfilling blend of Marsanne and Roussanne, with some honeyed spice and a note of maturity. Drinking beautifully now. (RG)
