JL Chave, Hermitage, Rouge 2018

Jean Louis Chave

Case Format: 6x75cl

The Chave family is one of the oldest names in the world of wine and it represents 16 generations of unbroken lineage committed to the production of some of the finest Syrah, Marsanne, and Roussanne on the planet since 1481. The key to perfect balance in Chave’s Hermitage is in their remarkable blending skill, which begins again every season. While percentages vary from year to year, the constant backbone of Hermitage Rouge is Syrah from Bessards Vineyard with its steep, granitic slopes. The Chave family’s methods for their winemaking include traditional farming, super low yields, full ripeness, and minimal manipulation. Their unmatched meticulousness continues through five centuries to render venerable expressions of the purest of northern Rhône terroir.

CRITIC REVIEWS

96
Matt Walls

A tasting of five lieux-dits points to a ripe, rich, dark-fruited vintage with high but not unbalanced alcohol. This is opulent with liqueur fruits and deep concentration. Its very ripe, but shows no raisined or jammy character, and has remarkably freshness considering its opulence. 2018 is all about ripeness, says Jean-Louis Chave. Picking the fruit promptly was important; ‘We had to pick on a Sunday - and weve never picked on a Sunday before.’ He reduced the maceration time this year and avoided punching down completely to avoid over-extraction.
