Chave Hermitage Rouge Magnum

Vintage: 2022

$739.99

Domaine Jean-Louis Chave is a prestigious winery located in the Rhône Valley, France, renowned for its exceptional Hermitage wines. The Hermitage Rouge is a classic expression of the Syrah grape, which thrives in the granite-rich soils of the Hermitage appellation. The winemaking process involves traditional fermentation techniques followed by aging in French oak barrels, which imparts a complex structure and depth to the wine. The flavor profile is characterized by rich dark fruit notes, such as blackberry and plum, complemented by hints of spice, leather, and a touch of smokiness. The wine's robust tannin structure and balanced acidity make it an excellent pairing with hearty dishes like roasted lamb or beef stew.

Professional Scores

The 2022 Hermitage from Jean-Louis Chave is broad and deep, bursting with aromas of smoke, licorice and dark wild berries mingled with delicate notes of fresh thyme and spices. Full-bodied, dense and powerful, layered and concentrated, it has a fleshy palate with a broad attack, racy mid-palate, velvety tannins and a mordant, somewhat firm finish. Remarkably, despite the sunny, dry conditions of the vintage, the wine does not exhibit an overtly warm character. This Hermitage stands out at this address as a particularly unique expression, rewarding those who are patient.
