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, cuvée cathelin 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.
