2010 Chapoutier Hermitage blanc de l'Orlée:
About 2500 bottles
made. Towards golden. Some yellow fruits, minerals, intense, nuanced and
quite refined nose, but a bit hidden behind vanilla notes from the oak.
Lowish acidity, crisp minerality, intense, rich, flinty and smoky, with
barrel burnt notes beside. Slightly bitter and bananas finish, slightly
salty. Long. 94
"-I had a request for a 1964 and I
reluctantly opened one of this old bottles but I didn't care if it
wasn't good, because I wasn't the winemaker in 1964. But it was very
good, we drank all the 600 bottles in one year!" Michel Chapoutier
