2022 Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage, Rhone, France, 750mL [98 points]

$358.95

The 2022 Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage is a striking expression of Rhône Valley Syrah, marrying power and finesse with remarkable precision. Medium to full-bodied, it offers vibrant energy and haunting aromatics of violet, crushed stone, wild herbs, and ripe blackberries. The palate is silky yet structured, with layered complexity that unfurls slowly. While approachable in its youth due to its floral lift and harmony, this wine is built for the cellar and promises decades of graceful evolution. A true benchmark for Hermitage.
