Chave’s masterful Hermitage is the crown jewel of the Northern Rhône - there's simply no better expression of Syrah on the planet.
The Chave family has been making wine on the slopes of the Northern Rhône for over 500 years and Hermitage Rouge is their flagship bottling. Chave allows Hermitage to shine in all its majestic nobility and ageworthiness.

Chave's 2013 Hermitage is not only an extraordinarily pure and transparent vintage, but also one with an architecture that promises an incredibly impressive evolution. It's easily one of our favorite Chaves of recent years. Here you have a vintage where the nobility of Chave is laid bare.
As all great Chaves do, the 2013 Hermitage Rouge delivers regal grandeur with a refined elegance. Cooler, late-ripening vintages like 2013 lend themselves perfectly to Chave’s long-lived style. They bring the breeding and dazzling elegance that's inherent to Chave to the forefront. And when vintages like 2013 reach maturity, look out. They offer crazy finesse with kaleidoscopic aromatics and mysterious depth.
Chave's wines are beautiful fusions of power and refinement. And the 2013 is a stunner. There's not much more to be said.
