Paul Jaboulet Description
Experience the exquisite taste of Paul Jaboulet Hermitage Blanc Chevalier De Sterimberg, a divine white wine crafted by renowned winemaker Caroline Frey and her dedicated team. With their meticulous attention to detail and innovative winemaking techniques, they have cultivated a perfect blend of 70% Marsanne and 30% Roussanne from the legendary Hermitage hill in France.
Indulge in the rich and complex tasting notes of this biodynamically farmed wine, featuring an enticing bouquet of ripe pears, delicate pastry, honey, and caramel. Its delicately oaky notes add an extra layer of depth, while the full and warm palate presents a harmonious balance of strength, finesse, and elegance.
The captivating story behind this wine takes us back to the knight Gaspard de Sterimberg, who established his residence in Hermitage and built the iconic stone chapel that crowns the hill. Drawing inspiration from this storied past, the Hermitage Blanc Chevalier De Sterimberg is produced from four distinct sections on the hill, each contributing unique qualities to the final blend.
For a truly uplifting and friendly gastronomic experience, pair this exceptional white wine with dishes that complement its rich flavors and aromas. Savor it with pan-seared scallops, creamy pasta, or a decadent cheese platter to elevate your meal and create unforgettable memories.
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
A 60-40 blend of Marsanne and Roussanne, the 2020 Hermitage Blanc Le Chevalier de Sterimberg features some slightly leesy aromas, plus hints of underripe pear, anise & citrus. Picked early and only 13% alcohol, it's a crisp, medium-bodied, tight, yet elegant effort that bears little resemblance to most modern-day white Hermitages.
