Domaine Jean-Louis Chave

The Jean Louis Chave estate is the jewel of a centuries-old family. Jean Louis Chave is the sixth generation of winemaker in this domain. The estate is renowned for its high-quality wines in Hermitage. Located in the North of the Rhône region, the estate includes a 10-hectare vineyard for the production of its red wines; including a plot of very old vines Les Roucoules, another 80-year-old Les Bessards, relatively young vines at l'Ermite, extremely old at Péléat and Beaumes, and 50-year-old vines at Méal.

Each of these vineyards produces a wine with slightly different palettes of aromas, textures and flavours, but the 'sum of the parts' is considerably more interesting than each cuvée taken individually. The red Hermitage from Domaine Chave becomes dazzling after several years of ageing. Full-bodied and concentrated, beautifully complex and refined, it develops a vast range of aromas from blackcurrant to smoky notes, including prune and spice.

The white wine from Domaine Chave develops creamy and honeyed aromas of hazelnut, peach and apricot, with a rare smoothness, and has ageing potential of several decades. These Hermitages stand out, with their freshness, balance, finesse, and length, clearly above all others.
