Domaine Jean-Louis Chave, Hermitage Rouge, 2021
There are few wines more revered in the Rhône—maybe anywhere—than Chave’s Hermitage Rouge. It’s not just about power or pedigree, but about precision, place, and patience. Blended from multiple historic parcels across the Hermitage hill, the 2021 shows Chave’s signature touch in a cooler, more classic vintage: less opulence, more detail.
Blackberry, plum, and blueberry are wrapped in layers of cracked pepper, smoked meat, violets, and iron-rich earth. The tannins are firm but polished, and the structure is there for decades. Yet even now, there's a quiet perfume and savory complexity that make it hard to resist. Cellar it if you can—but if you must open it soon, decant and serve with something worthy: roast lamb, wild game, or nothing but silence. This is Syrah at its most profound.
