Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider
Splash decanted, it took no time at all for the earthy, smoky, stony, ripe red berries, pepper, barnyard and touch of orange citrus aromas to pop up. The wine is medium/bodied, fresh, almost bright and elegant with a sweetness to the fruits and soft textures in the finish. This is drinking at peak today.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
The 1997 Hermitage rouge is unusual in its fruit-forward, user-friendly style. The color is a dense rubypurple. The gorgeous, evolved bouquet of cassis, minerals, herbs, underbrush, and licorice is intense. Creamy-textured, full-bodied, and opulent, this low acid, gloriously ripe, layered 1997 can be drunk now, but promises to be even better with another 5-6 years of cellaring; it will last for 20-25 years.

Wine Spectator July - 2000

Amazingly velvety mouthfeel marks this balanced and beautiful '97 Rhône red. Smooth, rich, ripe yet fresh, it caresses the palate, delivering blackberry, wet earth and sweet tannins in a clean package. Very long finish is redolent of smoke, toast and grilled meat.

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.
