98 points Robert Parker: "Chapoutier makes outstanding white Hermitage. Readers lucky enough to have access to any of the 300-500 cases of the luxury cuvee called Hermitage Cuvee de l'Orvee should use whatever contact they have to latch onto a bottle or two of the 1993, 1992, or 1991. Made from Chapoutier's oldest vines on the Hermitage Hill (average age of 75 years), these are closed, mineral-dominated, honeyed wines that are completely dry but fabulously rich with an intensity and breadth of flavour that would embarrass many of Burgundy's Le Montrachets. I thought the 1992 Hermitage Cuvee de l'Orvee to be virtually perfect. A huge, buttery, honeyed, lychee nut-scented nose is as exotic as it is profound. The wine possesses a richness and intensity that not only expresses the essence of the stony, granite soil found on the steep hillsides of Hermitage, but also extraordinary concentration. Full-bodied, fabulously rich and well-delineated, this is the greatest white Hermitage I have tasted." (06/94)
