M. Chapoutier Ermitage de l'Orée 2009 (750ml) Sauvignon Blanc purchased a barrel of Lafite100 Points There are 477 cases of the light gold colored 2009 Ermitage Cuvee de lOree, which I would be happy to insert in a blind tasting against the worlds greatest dry white wines, including Montrachet. The famous gout de petrol is there along with hints of citrus oil, wet steel, crushed rocks, quince, white currants, anise and honeysuckle. Very full, with off the charts intensity, this wine was fashioned from yields of 13 hectoliters per hectare
