Le Chevalier de Sterimberg 2021

Paul Jaboulet Aine

Case Format: 6x75cl

Paul Jaboulet Aine is one of the most iconic names in the world of wine. Founded in 1834 by Antoine Jaboulet (Paul was one of his sons), it was Paul’s son, Louis, and grandson, Gérard, who can be heralded among the great ambassadors for the both the region and the négociant. In 2006, the Freys took over Paul Jaboulet Aine. Their head winemaker, Caroline Frey, shifted the estate towards sustainable farming, which saw them achieve organic status in 2016.

75% of the blend is typically aged in concrete eggs, with the rest in French oak, which contributes to both its freshness and complexity. A typical blend of this Hermitage Blanc includes Marsanne and Rousanne, culminating in a luxurious and textured white complete with flavours of stone fruits, jasmine and piquant minerality.

CRITIC REVIEWS

James Suckling

Fascinating nose that combines notes of white flowers with stone fruit and complex vegetal aromas. Both right and structured, this has a tone of wet stone minerality and wild herb freshness. Long complete finish with a wonderful silky texture. A cuvee of roughly two-thirds marsanne and one-third roussanne. Matured in a combination of concrete eggs and demi-muid oak casks. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Leading off the two Hermitage Blancs, the 2021 Hermitage Le Chevalier De Sterimberg is mostly Marsanne yet includes one-third Roussanne. It has a perfumed nose of honeyed grapefruit, crisp apple, and chalky minerality as well as a medium-bodied, bright, racy style on the palate. Reminiscent of an impressive Chablis, with bright acidity and a great finish, it should evolve for over a decade.
