Score 92/100 · Drink 2006-2021, Robert Parker, Feb 2006

The 2004 Hermitage Chevalier de Sterimberg, which is put through 100% malolactic, is one of the few white Hermitages that includes a significant Roussanne component (66%) in addition to Marsanne (34%). It reveals big, sweet, waxy, honeysuckle and rose petal notes, oily, full-bodied flavors, loads of fruit, good acidity, and a long finish. Consume it over the next 10-15 years.

Pale gold color. Spicy and high-toned on the nose, with an intense minerality lifting the broad range of orchard fruit aromas. Then firm and dry on the palate, with strong apple and quince flavors accented by a strong violet element. Finishes juicy and long, with mineral notes adding brightness and energy to the wine's fruit character.
