The Chaves have been growing vines on Hermitage hill for over 500 years.
Gérard Chave took over from his father in 1970 and rapidly achieved star status due to the extraordinary quality of his wines.
The only family to still own vines on this iconic terroir (big brands have bought out the rest), the Chaves own 15 hectares spread across 9 of the 18 different climats on the hill.
Each site has a different aspect and soil type, giving varying nuances to the wine. This allows Jean-Louis Chave to produce a blend that reflects the separate characteristics of the site with a perfect balance of aromatic complexity, power and finesse.
