Expert's opinions

100 / 100
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
The greatest wines Chave has produced since 2003 are the two cuvees of 2009 Hermitage. The 2009 Hermitage exhibits a black/purple color along with a sumptuous nose of roasted meats, ground pepper, black currants, blackberry jam, and subtle smoke and licorice. The extraordinary bouquet is followed by a wine of extravagant intensity as well as tremendous focus and precision. While not as powerful as the blockbuster 2003, the amazing 2009 may turn out to be a modern day version of their magnificent 1990 (which is drinking incredibly well at present). Anyone who loves Hermitage and has a cold cellar should be lining up to get a few bottles of this beauty.

Strong ruby red. The nose is more restrained than the 2010 alongside it, one searches, one finds, spices, eucalyptus, leather, white pepper. On the palate with pressure and a certain opulence, has more Rubens character than in other years, yet remains elegant and balanced, top tannins, harmonious acidity, spice and ripe fruit aromas on the finish. Enjoy now until 2040.

Shows the plush edge of the vintage, with velvety but substantial tannins that course authoritatively underneath the core of dark plum, cassis and blackberry fruit. A fine dusting of charcoal coats the edges while a seam of tar pulls the finish together. Primal, young and poised for a long life.

Sweet, candied, ripe cherry and plummy fruits. Sexy opulence and really showy stuff, that’s on the sugary side of things. Putting up a real bit of exhibition here. White peppers, olives. The density is there but I do pick up that touch of jamminess which although is not cloying, am hoping to dissipate with age.

L’Hermite: Meaty and now we come to something a bit more recognisably Hermitage. Big and resonant with a hint of liquorice. Tannins very polished though. Long and builds on the finish.

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 winemakers in this domain. The estate 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 flavors, but the "sum of the parts" is much more interesting than each cuvée taken individually. The red Hermitage from the Chave estate becomes dazzling after several years of aging. Full-bodied and concentrated, beautifully complex and refined, it develops a vast range of aromas from blackcurrant to smoky notes, including prune and spice flavors.

The white wine from the Chave estate develops creamy and honeyed aromas of hazelnut, peach, and apricot, with a rare unctuousness, and has a aging potential of several decades. These Hermitages stand out, with their freshness, balance, finesse, and length, clearly above all others.
