Domaine de la Chapelle Hermitage AOC La Chapelle, Le Chevalier de Sterimberg 2022

A stunning vintage to usher in a new chapter for Domaine de la Chapelle. Owner Caroline Frey has made the decision to produce a single Hermitage cuvée from their exceptional terroir, rather than two, as was done for many years during the best vintages, with the tiny production of La Chapelle Blanc in addition to Le Chevalier de Sterimberg. This means that the Maison Blanche plots will now stay in blend every year; the new label reads La Chapelle, Le Chevalier de Sterimberg. The 2022 vintage is gorgeous. Full-bodied and heady with fresh citrus, white nectarines, and acacia honey. Smooth and crisp, with a rich, long, aromatic finish.
