Jean-Louis and Gerard Chave opened a bottle of the 2003 Hermitage Blanc to give me an idea of how this vintage is aging

menthol and fresh herbs

tannic and austere vintages from this estate

as animated as the 2015 with great precision and tension towards the finish

This reaches 15% alcohol

Louis Jadot, Batard Montrachet other_regions Jean-Louis and Gerard Chave opened(from Puligny fruit). A less elegant and slightly more wood influenced nose offers up restrained aromas of essence of white flowers that includes rose petal, lavender and acacia blossom as well as discreet citrus nuances. There is both more volume and richness to the large scaled, intense and powerful flavors that evidence seriously good punch and power on the muscular and wonderfully long finish. This is an impressive built to age Btard. (92 95) 2029+
