Reviews 93-98 points Wine Advocate "Readers will note that the score range I've provided for Chave's 2020 Hermitage is much broader than typical. That's because my ratings for the numerous barrel samples tasted varied considerably, with one lot scoring as low as (91 - 93), while others were near-perfect (98 - 100). I should be able to provide a more precise picture following my next visit, but it was clear to me that, even more than usual, much will depend on Jean-Louis's skills at selection and blending. From the soft, elegant and red-fruited Peleat to the commanding, dark-fruited and mineral-laden Bessards, and the silky, finesseful and raspberry-laden Le Meal in between, there's no doubt a fine expression of Hermitage will eventually emerge from Chave's cellars. (JC)" 97-99 points Vinous "There's intense dark fruit, suave floral and exotic spice character and a deep, energizing core of minerality, plus hints of olive, botanical herbs, licorice and smoked meat. But ultimately, it mainly focuses on powerful, vibrant fruit and floral qualities, making it a particularly elegant rendition of the appellation. (JR)"
