 More forward, open and textured, the 2000 Hermitage is an almost promiscuous effort that’s just hard to resist. According to Jean-Louis, this wine has never shut down and has always delivered plenty of pleasure. It has classic cassis and blackberry fruit, bacon fat, violets and herbs to go with a full-bodied, layered and seamless, if not voluptuous, style on the palate. I’d line bottles up for drinking over the coming couple of years, but it should hold nicely for upward of a decade.

Dark red color. Intense. Beautiful. Medium intensity nose. Fresh. Fine. Ripe. All softness and nuance. Floral. On swirling, intense. Fresh. Fine. Rich. Soft and smooth attack, developing on a refined mouthfeel and a dense body but, I repeat, without excess. Very slow, savory tannic evolution, leaving a pure taste and above all a melting tannicity. The structure shows mineral and chalky on the finish. Beautiful savory length where we find violet, cocoa, licorice.

The fruit has a nice purity, there is ample body and concentration allowing the wine to take up enough room on your palate But the tannins are dry, which takes away from overall experience and the finish.

Dense ruby red. The nose is somewhat restrained, needs time, develops only hesitantly, hints at depth. On the palate powerful, forceful, taut, lots of structure, somewhat restrained fruit, currently the framework dominates, the tannins are still very much in the foreground, but not drying. Long finish. A wine that needs time but also runs the risk of drying out at some point.

Mint, blood, blackberry. A library book scent too. Has the reverence, the ethos and the greatness of the best maturing wines – and the balance is just now coming into harmony. Dense potent, heavy, wonderful.

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.
