Sunday, April 28, 2024 - Drinking J.L. Chave Blanc 2007, J.L. Chave rouge 2014 and Lynch Bages 1990

Wonderful fraicheur in this beautiful red Hermitage. And although relatively young, it is in its drinking window. Not a very outspoken bouquet, but convincing on the palet: Rhone but its most subtle version. In general I'm not a huge Rhone fan due to the often rather overtly herbal profile but Chave is an enlightened version of all that. Quite dry for a red, but its fraicheur makes this a truly nice wine.

While this Chave is ready today it for sure has has plenty of years a head: easily another 5-7!
