Ermitage Blanc Le Meal 2019

98–100
/100

Lobenberg: Ein Wein der 'selection parcelaire', der vielleicht extremsten Form der in der Rhone biodynamisch betriebenen Weinberge. Kompakt mineralisch, mit Zitrusaromen und weißem Cassis beladen. Seine Substanz attackiert sofort Zunge und Lippen. Zum Glück hat Mutter Natur zur burschikosen Kraft eine kolossale Fülle gestellt. Wirkt unendlich lang und lässt die allgegenwärtigen Kräuternoten nicht vermissen. Im Abgang mischen sich reife Bananen und Thymian im immer wieder durch die Kraft stockenden Gaumenfluss. In Gänze ist er dann aber sehr im Gleichgewicht. Fett und gradlinig, würzig aber auch fruchtig, reif, aber auch frisch. Was kann man mehr von einem Wein verlangen? Groß! 98-100/100

Jeb Dunnuck über: Ermitage Blanc Le Meal

-- Jeb Dunnuck: The richest and most fruit loaded of the trio is the 2019 Ermitage Le Méal Blanc, which comes from a warmer terroir. This killer Hermitage Blanc has a vivid gold hue as well as a crazy good nose of quince, honeyed currants, acacia flowers, spice, and orange marmalade. It doesn't have the minerality of the L'Ermite (and to a lesser extent, the De l’Orée) yet has a more opulent, fat, unctuous style that's still flawlessly balanced and remarkably pure. This is another magical Hermitage from Chapoutier that does everything right. I followed this bottle for multiple days and it only improved with air. It's certainly the more early drinking of these three single vineyard releases, yet it still deserves 2-4 years of bottle age and should keep for 30 years or more. 100/100

Wine Spectator über: Ermitage Blanc Le Meal

-- Wine Spectator: This pumps out gorgeous honeysuckle, mirabelle plum, Cavaillon melon and Jonagold apple notes, all on a lush and broad frame that retains form and freshness. Reveals underlying zip from bitter orange and salted butter hints. A beauty. Best from 2023 through 2040. 19 cases imported. 97/100

Parker über: Ermitage Blanc Le Meal

-- Parker: The 2019 Ermitage le Méal Blanc boasts remarkable complexity, ranging from hints of pencil shavings and crushed stones to a range of ripe, honeyed fruit (pear, melon, citrus) and then into slightly spicy-herbal, salty elements that bring celery seed and fennel to mind. It's medium to full-bodied, broad and mouth coating on the palate, yet retains a terrific sense of freshness that revolves around gentle citrus pith/zest and salted licorice on the lingering finish. 96+/100

Decanter über: Ermitage Blanc Le Meal

-- Decanter: A rich and textural style with a gently smoky element running through it. Fresher than de l'Orée this year, but still massively rich and concentrated with a long finish. Touch of tomato leaf and tangy acidity - a lively style, like a fat man that can dance. 70% aged in demi-muid; 15% new oak, the rest is second- or third-use barrels. The remaining 30% is aged in stainless steel. 96/100

Suckling über: Ermitage Blanc Le Meal

-- Suckling: Spectacularly complex nose of dried fruit (everything from pear to pineapple) with a whiff of smoke wafting through it. Very rich, but precisely contoured with a very impressive structure, the spiciness building towards the finish. Both succulent and refined at the fabulous, creamy finale. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold. 96/100
