Professional Ratings
Wine Spectator
“Savory elegance and purity scream through amidst this reds expressive ripeness and power. Enticing notes of fig paste, violet and plum are woven with singed bacon, brown bread, anise and salt. Warm spices and graphite smoke move through the weighty, iron-cast finish, held with well-sculpted tannins; flashes of fresh and dried herbs bring savory energy. Shows great approachability now but will go the distance for decades. Best from 2026 through 2045.”
Highlights
Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage Rouge 2022
100% Syrah. Immensely complex on the nose, red fruits, dark chocolate, cassis, toasted spices, cured meat, fresh cracked pepper, and turned earth light up the senses. The palate is concentrated, deeply complex, and full of plush red fruits. The elegance of this wine is unmatched with firm acidity, fine tannins, and a finish that goes on for minutes.
