ERMITAGE LEMÉAL BLANC MICHEL CHAPOUTIER 2013 DRINK2018 - 2025

6x75 £875

Easily the finest vintage of this cuvee to date, the 2013 Ermitage leMeal Blanc doesn’t give an inch to themore heralded Cuvee de L’Orée or l’Ermite. Pure perfection in a glass, with awesome caramelized citrus, pineapple, crushed rock, toasted bread and buttered peach, it’s full-bodied, massive and concentrated on the palate, with incredible purity, richness and length. As with the other topwhites here, it needs a year or two in the cellar and will have 2-3 decades of longevity
