Domaine Jean-Louis Chave is a powerhouse producer located in the northern Rhone, making wine under the Hermitage and Saint-Joseph appellations. Chave's red and white Hermitage wines - based on Syrah and Marsanne and Roussanne respectively - are some of the most important in the Rhone Valley, commanding both high prices and 100-point scores.The plots are brought to the winery and vinified separately, to give the winemakers more control over the blending process. Grapes are usually destemmed, and are fermented in stainless steel before being aged for up to 18 months in oak, a small portion of which is new. All of the wines are bottled unfiltered.

Smells like smoked brisket, campfire, dark cherries and blueberries. Tannins and acid make you crave meat. Long finish.
