M. CHAPOUTIER ERMITAGE BLANC LE MÉAL 2013 (OWC)

Rhône.

Easily the finest vintage of this cuvee to date, the 2013 Ermitage le Meal Blanc doesn’t give an inch to the more 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 top whites here, it needs a year or two in the cellar and will have 2-3 decades of longevity.December 2014 Approximately 400 cases produced per vintage. WA 100

6 bts.    per lot $800 - $1,000

Realised: $1,680
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
