Domaine de La Chapelle – Hermitage Le Chevalier de Sterimberg 2011 is a great white wine from the legendary Hermitage hilltop vineyard in the northern Rhône Valley. This blend is produced in small batches from Marsanne and Roussanne grapes from old vines planted on the highest, most barren terraces surrounding the historic chapel.
The 2011 vintage reveals a mature elegance: aromas of quince, honey, almonds, herbs, yellow stone fruits, and subtle smokiness. On the palate, the wine is dense and silky, with ripe acidity, a smooth texture, and a long, slightly salty finish. Aging is traditional in oak, with ample time on the lees—without exaggeration.
Ideal for lovers of great Rhône white wines with structure, spice, and development. Now perfectly mature, with potential until approximately 2028.
