Chapoutier Ermitage Le Méal Blanc 2016 (750ml)","description":"Winemaker Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDeep garnet red with purple lights during its youth. The nose has ripe fruits and smoky aromas. The palate has powerful tannins and is velvety with notes of blackberry jam. According to the vintage, the wine can be kept from 30 to 60 years, indeed from 50 to 75 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProfessional Ratings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e97 Jeb Dunnuck\u003cbr\u003eSimilarly colored, the 2016 Ermitage Le Méal Blanc comes from a warmer terroir of pebbly and more loess soils and was brought up in 10% new demi-muids. It's a bigger, richer wine than the de l’Orée and boasts rocking notes of honeyed citrus, orange marmalade, baking spices, and licorice. Rich, powerful, and layered on the palate, it's another rocking white from this team that will drink nicely for two decades or more.\u003cbr\u003e94 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003eThe 2016 Ermitage le Meal Blanc is all Marsanne and all power, with ample weight and richness on the full-bodied palate. Grilled melon and tangerine flavors are big, bold and round yet balanced by a hint of bitterness on the finish. It should drink well for two decades or more.\u003cbr\u003e94 James Suckling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeductive and creamy nose with baked lemons, orange rind, rusks, flower honey, green apples and fresh flowers. Full body with such an ample, round dimension to it. It’s expansive and extensive with controlled power. It’s flattering with so much volume and weight on the palate. Long finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification.","brand":"M.
