Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
The 2004 Hermitage blanc, which hit 15% natural alcohol, is another superb effort, continuing a succession of totally profound white Hermitages from 2003, 2004, and 2005. As many readers know, this small family producer has been making wine in Hermitage since 1481! The 2004 (about 1000 cases) reveals a light gold colour, terrific finesse and elegance in spite of its enormous power, unctuosity, and richness. Of course, it is not as honeyed as the otherworldly 2003 (which hit 16% natural alcohol) but it is an amazingly full-bodied, powerful wine with pervasive honeysuckle, peach liqueur, and nectarine notes intermixed with liquorice, quince, and acacia flowers. This is gorgeous wine which should evolve for 20-25 years.

Gentle oak, light oxidative note and amazing creamy marzipan flavour. Savoury cereal and hay on the finish. Highly textured – not crisp or acidic, so very different to the vogue white style of the day. Full-bodied, fat and fleshy and proud of it.

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.
