Secure the Icon: Hermitage Chevalier de Sterimberg

Le Chevalier de Sterimberg is an iconic White Hermitage from the prestigious Domaines Paul Jaboulet Aîné. Named after the Crusader-turned-hermit who founded the chapel on the hill, this wine embodies the power and elegance of the Northern Rhône. It is predominantly Marsanne, sourced from prime terroirs, and crafted to be a world-class, age-worthy white.

Sommelier's Profile

• Appearance: Bright, pale gold.
• Aromatics: A complex bouquet of white flowers, ripe pear, and honey, developing notes of truffle and spice with bottle age.
• Taste: Full-bodied and rich, delivering a powerful yet refined texture. The wine maintains a vibrant freshness, ensuring a long, structured finish that is the hallmark of great Hermitage Blanc.

Serving Suggestions

A true collector's wine, best enjoyed with rich, textured dishes. Decanting is recommended to soften the structure of younger vintages. Serve slightly cool, not chilled (12-14°C).

• Classic Pairings: Roast Turbot with Hollandaise Sauce, Rich Chicken and Mushroom Pie, Aged Comté or Gruyère.
• Aging: Immense potential; will evolve beautifully over a decade or more.
