Heiner Lobenberg om:
Hermitage Rouge 2022

96
/100

Jean Louis Chave er med rette det bedste eksempel på hvid og rød Hermitage. Her og der er en Chapoutier imponerende vild og bombastisk, nogle gange er en Ferraton mere velsmagende, nogle gange er en Tardieu mere elegant, nogle gange er en Guigal mere ligetil. Men hans helt uforlignelige elegance og finesse og hans evne til at fremhæve det typiske ved årgangen er uovertruffen. Vinene er altid perfekte og arketypiske. Det, som kun en Clos des Papes i Chateauneuf bringer på flaske hvert år i en idealtypisk form, er Nordrhone Jean Louis Chave. Altid en perfekt demonstration af, hvad årgangen kan vise i sin bedste form. 96/100

Årsrapporten

Den kontrastrige og ekstreme årgang 2022 fremstår utroligt mangfoldig og fascinerende i Rhône-området. Mens det køligere nord frembringer storslåede, fyldige og samtidig stramme århundredets vine med moderat alkoholindhold, er det især de ældgamle vinstokke i syd, der leverer dybsindige, historiske kvaliteter.

Decanter om: Hermitage Rouge

A tasting of the different lieux-dits showed how the different soil types reacted to the drought. Granite-based parcels (Ermite, Les Bessards) suffered blockages in ripening and finished at 13% alcohol; the clay-based terroirs (Le Méal, Les Beaumes) didn't stop ripening and finished at 15%. The overall blend will be powerful but fragrant, complex and stylistically sits within other recent dry and hot vintages, and isn't outside the current norm (it's nothing like the similarly extreme 2003). Picking started at the end of August. 98/100

Galloni om: Hermitage Rouge

Now in bottle, the 2022 L'Hermitage confirms my enthusiastic initial assessment when I first tasted various single-vineyard barrel samples back in 2023. It soars from the glass with pronounced dried violets, white pepper, orange rind, spice box and delicately woven glimmers of cassis. On the palate, the 2022 first expands with full-bodied, aristocratic breadth before turning inward into a narrowly focused elixir. Despite the warm growing season, the vigor and freshness captured in this red L'Hermitage from Jean-Louis Chave are breathtaking. Though built for at least two more decades, the 2022 is irresistible today, provided it receives a proper decant.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Hermitage Rouge

Showing beautifully (if not eyes-roll-back-in-your-head good), the 2022 Hermitage offers sun-kissed blackberry and cassis fruits intermixed with sweet herbs, graphite, crushed stones, and incense on the nose. It's full-bodied, has a beautiful core of fruit and firm, classic, granite-inspired structure and tannins. This is an ultra-classic, gorgeous Hermitage from this incredible family that will see its 50th birthday in fine form. It reminds me slightly of the 1998. Drink 2028-2072.

Parker om: Hermitage Rouge

The 2022 Hermitage from Jean-Louis Chave is broad and deep, bursting with aromas of smoke, licorice and dark wild berries mingled with delicate notes of fresh thyme and spices. Full-bodied, dense and powerful, layered and concentrated, it has a fleshy palate with a broad attack, racy mid-palate, velvety tannins and a mordant, somewhat firm finish. Remarkably, despite the sunny, dry conditions of the vintage, the wine does not exhibit an overtly warm character. This Hermitage stands out at this address as a particularly unique expression, rewarding those who are patient.

Min vinmager

Jean Louis Chave

Chave-familien har produceret Hermitage i 600 år og er utvivlsomt en af de bedste vinproducenter i verden. Vinene fra den nuværende generation, far Gerard og søn Jean Louis, er kultvine af højeste kvalitet, ekstremt sjældne og svære at finde.
