P?l?at was smooth, silky and red-fruited with good acidity; Beaumes slightly meatier, a little less concentrated than a typical year, but with good tannic drive; L'Ermite was serious, dry and mineral; Bessards very strict, with tight, rigid tannins. The final blend is likely to produce a structural rather than generous style of Hermitage, with tannins that will need a long time in bottle to settle. This will be ascetic in youth, then complex and textural with age.\"-Matt Walls\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eJeb Dunnuck: 94 Points\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003eMore in the mold of the 2014, the 2021 Hermitage is a ripe, polished, beautifully balanced Hermitage that doesn't have the depth and concentration of a great vintage, yet shines for its elegance, balance, and overall sense of class. Red and black fruits, saddle leather, camphor, and subtle gamey, bouquet garni notes, as well as a brilliant sense of minerality, define this medium-bodied, balanced, silky Hermitage. It's going to shine with just 3-5 years of bottle age, and while I would enjoy bottles over the coming 10-15 years, these light yet perfectly balanced wines have an uncanny ability to age longer than we expect.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eVinous: 94 Points\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eProducer\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eJean-Louis Chave \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eCountry\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e France \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eRegion\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Rhone Valley \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSubregion\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eHermitage\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eVarietal\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Rhone Blend \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eVintage\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e2021\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSku\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e20616\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e1.5L\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e ","brand":"Grapes The Wine Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52612909629807,"sku":"20616","price":825.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0924\/4947\/2879\/files\/20616-J_L__Chave_16600.gif?v=1789113947","url":"https:\/\/www.grapesthewineco.com\/products\/jl-chave-hermitage-rouge-2021-1-5l","provider":"Grapes The Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
