Paul Jaboulet Aine, Hermitage Chapelle Blanc Vintage:2010 (from 3 separate lieux-dits)Another impressive white is the 2006 Hermitage la Chapelle Blanc. It too is mature, with full bodied notes of buttered stone fruits, white currants, honeysuckle and hazelnuts all emerging from the glass. Possessing a touch more richness than the le Chevalier de Sterimberg, its drinking beautifully today, yet should keep for a decade (or more).
