The Story

M. Chapoutier Ermitage Le Meal Blanc is a brilliant golden yellow color. The nose is intense, very mineral, celery overtones, slight and well-integrated hint of wood. Ample attack on the palate, well-rounded, fine exotic freshness, roasted almond.

Ideal pairings for this wine include lobster, fish, poultry in sauces, white meats, goat's cheese, blue cheese, spicy dishes and curry. 

96 Points - James 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 Points - 

The 2019 Ermitage le Méal Blanc was initially tasted and reviewed last year. While I retasted it, my impressions were essentially the same as last time (reproduced here for the sake of completeness): 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.
