Tasting Notes

Wine Advocate 95

The spectacular 2007 Hermitage boasts a dense purple color along with notes of creme de cassis, loamy soil, crushed rocks and acacia flowers, a rare opulence and a full-bodied style. Reminiscent of the 1991 Hermitage (a great vintage for Chave as well as most top producers in Hermitage), it should drink well for 20-25 years. Tasting through the different Hermitage vineyards (including Peleat, Les Beaumes, Meal, l’Ermite and Les Bessards), the lowest score any of these lots received was 94-96 (Les Beaumes). The other parcels all merited 97-100 points. The most dominant component part of Chave’s red Hermitage comes from Les Bessards, which many consider to be the greatest vineyard on Hermitage Hill. The next largest is Meal, a vineyard with a more southerly exposure. While Chave has not made their special cuvee, Cuvee Cathelin, since 2003, I suspect one will emerge from the different lots of Les Bessards that I tasted as 2009 is certainly a year where enough wine can be culled out for the Cathelin without sacrificing the monumental quality of the regular Hermitage. This looks to be one of the wines of the vintage, which is not surprising given the fact that the Chave family has more experience than just about anybody in the winemaking world (the domaine was founded in 1481 – nearly a decade before Christopher Columbus discovered America!).

Vinous 94

I remember last tasting the medium to full-bodied 2007 L’Hermitage while taking a break from the Bordeaux En Primeur tastings in spring 2010, when it revealed little beyond tightness and austerity. Fifteen years on, the 2007 has mellowed into a distinctively spicy and elegant L’Hermitage, showing fragrant notes of mint, forest floor and cured meat. Wrapped around resolved tannins, the 2007 finishes with glistening verve on a refined close. Drinking beautifully today, it should continue to offer high-end tertiary pleasure for at least five more years. [Nicolas Greinacher, 01/01/2026]
