1990

Founded in 1481, Jean Louis Chave is a highly respected winery in the northern Rhône region of France. Passed down through generations, they are known for producing exceptional Hermitage wines.

The Jean Louis Chave Hermitage 1990 is a classic Rhône red blend, crafted from Syrah grapes grown on steep, granite hillsides. This vintage offers a deep garnet color with complex aromas of blackberries, leather, smoked meat, and earth. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied with silky tannins, flavors of dark fruits, spices, and a long, lingering finish. This wine is drinking beautifully now but has the potential to age gracefully for many more years.
