M. Chapoutier Ermitage Le Méal Blanc 2018
Descripción
La variedad Marsanne en el Ródano entrega vinos concentrados y largos, que en su madurez embelesan a los más entendidos por su gran complejidad y elegancia. En Ermitage, Michel Chapoutier elabora este vino parcelario con apenas 2 hectáreas de viñedo repleto de canto rodado de origen aluvial. Sorprende por su salinidad y mineralidad, con una tensión en boca remarcable.

Opinión de los críticos
Is le Méal the most complex and complete lieu-dit on Hermitage, when considering both red and white wines? The 2018 Ermitage le Méal Blanc certainly makes a case for the white, offering honeyed, complex notes of mixed citrus, pineapple, pear and melon, structural notes of crushed stone, ample weight and richness on the palate and a long, vibrant finish. Just terrific.
Another heavenly white from this estate is the 2018 Ermitage Le Méal Blanc, which comes from a warmer, full south-facing vineyard. As with all the top whites here, it's brought up in larger format barrels, with around 25% new. It offers powerful notes of orange blossom, candied tangerines, flower oil, candle wax, and liquid rock-like minerality. These carry to a full-bodied monster of a wine that expands beautifully on the palate, yet still stays pure, balanced, and chiseled. Drink this blockbuster any time over the coming two decades or more.
