Hermitage Rouge Chave 2006 is a Syrah from the Northern Rhône appellation. Produced by Jean-Louis Chave, a winemaker with a lineage dating back to 1481, this wine showcases fruit sourced from several prominent lieux-dits on the Hermitage hill. The excellent 2006 Northern Rhône vintage benefitted from ideal growing conditions, resulting in wines with potential for significant ageing. This mature bottling features aromas of dark fruit, black pepper, olive tapenade and hints of leather. The tannins are robust yet refined, indicating a promising evolution in the bottle over the coming years.

Chave`s 2006 Hermitage is a fabulous example of the classic style of the estate, as well as of the more forward, charming nature of the vintage. Offering up a gorgeous bouquet of caramelized black fruits, cassis, tapenade, spring flowers and an undeniable minerality, this beautiful Hermitage is fresh, lively and incredibly elegant on the palate, yet still packs gorgeous amounts of fruit and texture, with plenty of wow factor. While still youthful, it delivers loads of pleasure, and will keep for another two decades or more. - Jeb Dunnuck
95 Vinous
Deep ruby with a bright rim. Sexy aromas of red and dark fruit preserves, potpourri, allspice and smoky minerals. Juicy, extremely pure raspberry and mulberry flavors are complemented by notes of violet and rose pastille, with tangy minerality providing spine. A spherical, seamless wine that delivers a wallop of sweet fruit while maintaining admirable restraint and focus. Finishes with terrific cut and lingering spiciness. Manages to be powerful and wiry at the same time; this will live a long time on balance and energy.Josh Raynolds1st January 2010
