Lot 392 Details
DOMAINE JEAN-LOUIS CHAVE HERMITAGE 2003

Rhône.
1 x marked label.

Chave's 2003 Hermitage, like the most successful Burgundies from that anomalous vintage, somehow retains a sense of mineral freshness that balances this wine's remarkable concentration and massive fruit. Tasted at the domaine, it's even floral and perfumed on the nose, an incredible feat when faced with that summer's implacable heat. Full-bodied, massively rich and decadently creamy in texture, it delivers waves of mixed red and black fruits that avoid any overtly raisiny character, finishing vibrant, peppery and long. December 2019 Drink: 2015-2040 WA 100

2 bts.    per lot $1,500 - $1,700
