"I tasted five different lots that will be blended into the 2020 Hermitage Blanc, from Péléat, l'Ermite and three parts of Les Rocoules. Full-bodied, honeyed and rich, this should be another outstanding vintage for Chave's white, with the incredible lushness of the bigger wines balanced by the zestiness found at the top of Les Rocoules and the delicacy and freshness of L'Ermite."

"While the 2020 Hermitage Blanc had just been racked, it didn’t show the worse for wear and offers beautiful richness, opulence, and baby fat to go with the classic mineral-laced, focused core that Marsanne can provide. Full-bodied, pure, and balanced, it’s going to be a dream to taste in its youth but will probably deserve 10-15 years of bottle age." 96-98, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com
