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.

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.

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.
