J.L. Chave's 2019 Selection Hermitage Blanche showcases toasted grain on the nose, accenting green peaches and honeyed richness. It's full-bodied and concentrated but not overdone, with tremendous length.

Jean-Louis Chave's Hermitage is a benchmark wine for lovers of the Northern Rhone, and is among the top red wines in the world, however, you pay for it with high price tags and limited availability. Thankfully he makes a full line-up of high quality wine under his J.L. Chave Selections label that is delicious, affordable and ready to drink.

For much of the fruit Jean-Louis uses his domaine's young vines and the sourced fruit comes from the AOC's northern corners, where the grapes are naturally fresh and elegant. Chave, of course, makes the wine with the same light touch as he uses for his Hermitage, in a style that emphasizes fruit purity rather than power. All of this helps to make the wines eminently drinkable on release.
