Wines from Yann Chave

Producer: Yann Chave
Wine: Crozes Hermitage 2008
Appellation: Crozes Hermitage
Region: Rhone Country: France
Grape: Shiraz / Syrah
Tasting notes: "Chave is a great name in the northern Rhône and while this isn't Gérard or Jean-Louis of Hermitage fame, it's surely one of the greatest modern expressions of Crozes-Hermitages, a red bursting with an aromatic peppery fragrance and seductively juice blackberry fruit opulence infused with camphor and tar and delightfully balanced. Anyone for partridge?"

Anthony Rose, Saturday Independent

"Rising star winemaker Yann Chave makes northern Rhône syrahs of quite astonishing purity. Here he's come up with a kind of distilled essence of pepper and blackberry with a silky texture that means it simply skates across the tongue."

David Williams, Observer Food Monthly

Producer: Yann Chave
Wine: Crozes Hermitage Le Rouvre 2009
Appellation: Crozes Hermitage
Region: Rhone Country: France
Grape: Shiraz / Syrah
Tasting notes: More seriously endowed with more noticeable vanillin and toasty oak characteristics, the 2009 Crozes-Hermitage Le Rouvre reveals a dense purple color, sweet tannin and lots of creme de cassis, blackberry, pepper, spice, roasted meat and forest floor notes. This big wine will benefit from several years of cellaring and will keep for 10-12 years.
