F287-Yann Chave Hermitage 2013

🏅RobertParker 92
Sporting an inky purple color, the 2013 Hermitage from YannChave was comes from two terroirs: Beaumes and Peleat. Completely destemmed andraised all in demi-muids, it has fabulous purity in its classic black currants,smoked herbs, pepper and crushed rock-like minerality. With air, a touch ofgunpowder and violet characteristics emerge from the glass, and it has classicHermitage minerality (there’s almost a Bessards-like minerality here); the winehas medium to full-bodied richness, beautiful mid-palate depth, and the focusand edge that’s common in the vintage. There’s enough tannin to warrant shortterm cellaring and it will have 20 or more years of overall longevity.

近年冒升得好快的酒莊，由1公頃的葡萄園起家，一開始就只賣葡萄酒給其他釀酒者到1996年才有自家的品牌，被評為 「warrant serious attention 」受Decanter, Jancis Robinson和 Robert Parker多家酒評家高度讚賞, Hermitage是酒莊最頂級的酒款, 放於600L木桶17個月, 只做550 箱….
