Few producers are as closely associated with their appellation as Jean-Louis Chave is with Hermitage. As always, the wine is assembled from a mosaic of vineyards across the hill, each parcel contributing its own voice to the final blend and together creating one of the defining expressions of Northern Rhône Syrah.

The 2018 is a vintage of remarkable generosity, combining dark fruit, spice and floral notes with the granite-driven structure that lies at the heart of great Hermitage. Rich and powerful yet carried by an almost surprising freshness, it is a wine of both immediate presence and immense patience, built to evolve gracefully for decades to come.
