Located at the heart of the Crozes-Hermitage appellation, Yann Chave’s estate extends to 20 hectares, with 1.2 hectares on the iconic Hermitage hillside. For Le Rouvre, Yann selects plots where the grapes produce perfectly velvety tannins, with optimal ageing potential. The 2020 vintage has captivating notes of cracked pepper, olive tapenade and black cherries. It’s an immensely concentrated and very fine wine, with lavish fruit complexity.

Vinous
- Inky violet. Heady, spice-accented red and dark berry scents, along with suggestions of smoky minerals, olive, cured tobacco and licorice. Juicy and lithe on the palate, offering palate-staining bitter cherry, black raspberry and exotic spice flavors that deepen and turn sweeter through the midpalate. Shows superb definition and mineral lift on a wonderfully long, smooth finish that features well-knit tannins and lingering suggestions of cracked pepper and candied violet. 15% whole clusters; raised in 600-liter oak barrels, 10% of them new.
