Lot Title: Jean-Louis Chave – Hermitage Blanc 2008 Description: The undisputed king of northern Rhône whites. From one of the world's greatest vintners, this 2008 Hermitage Blanc is a legendary blend of Marsanne and Roussanne from old vines on the iconic hill of Hermitage. Aged for 18 months in barriques and foudres, it offers profound complexity: ripe stone fruits, acacia honey, quince, toasted almonds, and a signature saline minerality. The 2008 vintage was cool and slow-ripening, producing a white of remarkable tension and longevity. Fully mature now yet capable of evolving for another 15–20 years. A bottle for the serious collector. Condition: Perfect provenance. Ideal fill level and label.
