Domaine Jean Louis Chave Hermitage Red 750ml
99/100 - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
98/100 - Jeb Dunnuck
The 2023 vintage is beautifully balanced, offering exceptional purity and elegance. Aromas of blackberry, cassis, dark cherry and violet are layered with notes of smoked meat, black olive, graphite, cracked pepper and subtle spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet remarkably refined, with silky tannins, vibrant acidity and an intense mineral core that leads to an extraordinarily long, perfumed finish. While approachable with extended decanting in its youth, this is a benchmark Hermitage built to evolve gracefully for 20–40 years.
