J.L. CHAVE
Chave stands both as a monument to Hermitage and winemaking in general. The wines have been made traditionally without intervention for over five-hundred years. There is a tendency among the more purile press and reckless trophy hunters to focus on the much more recently launched Cuvée Cathélin. Named after the painter Bernard Cathélin, Chaves luxury cuvée is only produced in exceptional vintages from old vines in Les Bessards and aged in 100 new oak. Be not fooled by his standard cuvée as there is nothing ordinary about it. There is nothing regular about his standard cuvée, though a foil in style from the flashy Cuvée Cathélin: black raspberry with the tannins gaining length and silkiness with cellaring.
Hermitage--Vintage 1990
Rhône, JL Chave
"1990 is the Hermitage appellation's greatest vintage since 1978, and maybe since 1961. I have been tasting Chave's Hermitage since the great 1978 vintage, and the black-colored 1990 is unquestionably the most massive and concentrated wine he has yet produced. Perhaps the real difference between it and the splendid 1989 is that the 1990 exhibits a more roasted character to its nose, as well as a bit more tannin and concentration in the mouth. Except for that, they are both mind-boggling, monumental bottles of red Hermitage. The 1990, which offers huge aromas of tar, roasted cassis fruit, and hickory, as well as astonishing concentration, will not be interesting to drink young. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2040. Last tasted 6/95." Robert Parker, Rhone Book (1997)
