Jean-Louis Chave is one of the finest ‘vignerons’ in France producing some astonishing white and red Hermitages.
“Anyone who loves Hermitage and has a cold cellar should be lining up to get a few bottles of this beauty.”
– ROBERT PARKER
Tasting Notes
The refined 2021 L'Hermitage was cropped at 37 hL/ha and bottled in early September 2023. It is laced with finely delineated orange rind, raspberry, red cherry, red plum, dried herbs, pencil shavings, black cherry, crushed violet and cedar. Showing excellent tension on the medium-bodied palate, the 2021 brings it home with clarity and freshness. That being said, it won’t be as long lived as either the 2020 or 2022.
