Always a serious value, the 2013 Hermitage Chante Alouette shows the focused, pure and mineral-laced style of the vintage, yet still packs plenty of fruit. Giving up ample tangerine, buttered citrus, almond and mineral-water qualities, it's medium to full-bodied, has excellent richness and a beautifully balanced, pure, clean feel. Drink it over the coming decade or more.
