Description
Domaine Jean-Louis Chave’s 2020 Hermitage Rouge exemplifies the pinnacle of Syrah from the Northern Rhône. This vintage reveals a deep, inky hue and an aromatic bouquet of cassis, blueberry, and red fruits, accented by delicate graphite nuances. The palate is expansive and harmonious, balancing robust tannic structure with a silky texture and integrated oak, culminating in a mineral-driven finish. Critics have lauded its finesse and precision, with Decanter awarding it 98 points, noting its “elegant tannins and intensity without great power.” This Hermitage Rouge is poised for long-term aging, promising to evolve gracefully over the coming decades.
