Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
Served at Chateau Gruaud Larose, this 1999 Chave Blanc has a lovely bouquet with scents of lemon curd, melted candle wax and broom. The palate is very well balanced, slightly viscous on the entry, a touch of dried apricot, ginger and orange essence, fanning out nicely with just a touch of warm alcohol enveloping the finish. Superb. Drink now-2020+

Showing both oxidative and fresh character – very interesting, very expressive – and remarkable how intact, complete and still ageable it is. Warm finish.

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.
