The 1990 Chante-Alouette's yellow color suggests super grape maturity. The nose displays the honeyed, hazelnut, stony, peach-like aromas of a top white Hermitage. In the mouth, there is superb extraction of flavor, combined with surprisingly crisp, high acidity. This is an extremely rich and intense white Hermitage for connoisseurs. Anticipated maturity: now-2010. Last tasted 12/95.
