Hermitage - Vin de Paille - 1990 - Jean-Louis Chave

This straw wine comes from the prestigious Hermitage appellation in the Rhône Valley. Crafted in 1990 by Jean-Louis Chave, this exceptional white blends Roussanne and Marsanne grapes, offering a beautiful aromatic complexity. The grapes, handpicked at full maturity, are dried to concentrate the sugars, resulting in natural sweetness and richness on the palate. With a golden hue and aromas of candied fruits, honey, and gentle spices, this rare wine pairs perfectly with desserts or aged cheeses. Its evolution in the bottle over three decades has allowed it to develop subtle notes of toasting and nuts. A true testament to the expertise of one of the region's great winemakers.
