Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage 2022 shows deep, dark fruit layered with smoked meat, licorice and wild herbs, carried by a striking combination of power, lift and mineral tension that defies the heat of the vintage. The palate is dense yet refined, with velvety tannins and a long, savory, iron-tinged finish that promises real complexity with time in bottle.

Hermitage by Jean-Louis Chave is the benchmark red and white of this storied northern Rhône hill, blending multiple parcels across nine climats to express the whole of Hermitage rather than a single site. The red, based on Syrah with a small permitted portion of white grapes, is powerful, long-lived and granite-marked, while the white, predominantly Marsanne with some Roussanne, is a richly textured yet finely balanced wine built to develop profound complexity in bottle.
