1991 M. Chapoutier Ermitage Blanc L'Orée - France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Hermitage (6/21/2008)

Allred brought this over last weekend for dinner at our home. I must say that this was not my style of wine. I don't think there was anything wrong or flawed about this wine but the flavor profile was not to my liking. I prefer my white Rhones with more spice and grip. This seemed a little flat and the fruit was soft. I think this was a result of very low acidity. Straw yellow color. This had a good base of minerals with waxy fruit notes noticed by Allred. Medium bodied. Just didn't do much for me. 84 points.
