L'Hermitage 2021

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.
