A couple living in Vancouver built their wine collection over the pandemic, taking advantage of the time available for research and the enjoyment of wine. During their travels before the pandemic, they had discovered producers and styles that intrigued them—collecting wine from the places they had visited or finding bottles they had enjoyed along the way became a way to break the monotony of quarantine. A relationship was established with Morrell Wine, specifically with their representative from the importer, who played a significant role in helping them refine their vision for the ideal collection. Most of their bottles were stored at Morrell’s cellar prior to their move to Canada, though they kept a few cases in a carefully maintained cellar in their Austin high-rise. To ensure the collection’s safe transport, they worked with the expert team at Xpeditr, coordinating its secure transfer from Morrell and Austin to a new cellar in Vancouver in 2022, where the bottles have remained since import. They now hope these bottles will find a home with someone who truly appreciates wine and the shared moments it fosters, whether they are new to collecting or seasoned enthusiasts.
The scores for 2018 Domaine Jean Louis Chave Hermitage Blanc - The Wine Advocate - 100, Jeb Dunnuck - 100. The rating for 2018 Domaine Jean Louis Chave Hermitage Blanc is 100 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Chave's 2018 Hermitage Blanc, now that it's been blended and bottled for over a year, smashed my already lofty expectations. Showing a wonderfully delicate and intricate nose of white flowers, toasted grain and white peach, it's also impeccably balanced. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, it nevertheless comes across as almost weightless but with amazing presence and length on the palate. If you're fortunate enough to latch onto multiple bottles, open one now to experience this legend as a young wine, then try to hide the others deep in the cellar.
