Today, from all the appellations of the northern Rhône that produce white wine, there is only one sure thing year in and year out, and that is the quality of the Chave Hermitage blanc. Be it 1986, 1985, 1984, 1983, 1982, 1981, or 1980 (picking the decade I know best), it is a white to be enjoyed young, old, and in between.
