We check multiple rating platforms for every wine where accessible: Vivino, Wine-Searcher, Wine Spectator, Decanter, James Suckling, Robert Parker Wine Advocate. Only verified scores matching the offered vintage or NV are shown and included.

Ratings are shown from 3.7/5 only when at least one contributing source confirms 10 reviews for this exact vintage or NV. Counts from different platforms are not added together.

2 exact platform scores are weighted equally. Native 99- and 100-point scales are normalized from 50→1 to their own maximum→5 (99→5 or 100→5); display and filtering use one decimal. Aggregator and critic-platform scores can partly overlap.

Description

Domaine Jean-Louis Chave L'Hermitage 2021 is a refined Hermitage made from 100% Syrah from the famous Hermitage hill in the Northern Rhône. The Chave family has been making wine here since 1481. This cuvée is a blend of several top sites (lieux-dits), with the granite Les Bessards as its backbone, complemented by L'Ermite, Le Méal, Péléat and Beaumes, among others.

The elegant 2021 vintage shows aromas of raspberry, red cherry, red plum and black cherry, interwoven with dried herbs, pencil shavings, violets and cedar. On the palate it is medium-bodied, precise and fresh, with fine tannins, clear tension and a long, lively finish.

A classic, nuanced Hermitage with great clarity and elegance. Ideal with roast lamb, beef, game and truffle dishes. Serve at 16-18°C, preferably after careful decanting.
