This is a vintage the Chaves like to drink now. Great development on the nose, Big, bold but with apparently enough acidity even though it is rarely more than 3g/l as measured in sulphuric so is technically very low. Presumably the bitterness helps to keep it lively. Waxy, blossomy scents – not so unlike a good white Châteauneuf actually...

Domaine Jean-Louis Chave
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 estate. The domain is renowned for its high-quality Hermitage wines. 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 far more interesting than each cuvée taken individually. The red Hermitage from Domaine Chave becomes dazzling after several years of ageing. Full-bodied and concentrated, magnificently complex and refined, it develops a vast array of aromas ranging from blackcurrant to smoky notes, with hints of prune and spices.

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