Overview:
The 2020 Paul Jaboulet Ainé Hermitage Le Chevalier de Sterimberg is a distinguished white wine crafted from a blend of Roussanne and Marsanne grapes, carefully cultivated on the steep slopes of the Hermitage appellation in the Northern Rhône. The grapes thrive in clay-chalk and sandy, pebble-rich soils, contributing to the wine's complexity and elegance. This exceptional wine reflects the renowned terroir of Hermitage, offering a refined and harmonious profile.
Tasting Notes:
In the glass, the wine presents a brilliant golden hue, inviting you to experience its aromatic complexity. The nose is rich with notes of white flowers, citrus zest, and a subtle touch of honey, complemented by hints of toasted almonds and a delicate minerality. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied and balanced texture, with fresh acidity that enhances its elegant profile. The finish is long, leaving a refined impression of stone fruit and spice. This wine pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as roasted poultry, creamy sauces, and seafood like lobster or grilled scallops. It also complements soft cheeses and delicate vegetable-based dishes. Serve chilled for the best experience.
