Hermitage Chave Heritage | Thierry Weber

Sumptuous and dense wines, as enigmatic as they are voluptuous, on steep slopes bordering the impossible, with a labyrinthine geological richness, a crucial historical dimension: Hermitage stems from an essential truth and defies superficiality. Rooted in the vineyard since 1481, the Jean-Louis Chave estate incessantly listens to and sculpts the hills of Saint-Joseph and Hermitage, searching for their secret, the absolute truth of wine. Its immense wines are the sensitive heritage of rugged stones and fiercely defended craftsmanship. They express an obstinate pursuit of liquid beauty, a beauty inseparable from the ecology of the sites and the fundamental gestures of the winemaker's trade. A enduring passion sets this estate of the Côtes-du-Rhône apart, a passion that this book introduces us to clearly, thus opening the doors to an estate as celebrated as it is secret.
