JEAN-LOUIS 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.
Hermitage--Vintage 1990
Rhône, Chave
When I arrived at 6:00 p.m., September 11, 2001, at Domaine Chave, I found Chave in tears and his family distraught. I had heard about the attacks on the World Trade Center, but not the subsequent collapse of both towers. Gerard Chave knows all about suicidal bombers, having served in the French military during the Algerian revolution. It took a long time to gather sufficient focus to do my tastings. However, the brilliant wines that unfolded in the cellars were, at least for several hours, a much needed antidote for pushing to the back of my mind the horror of 9-11-01.
