AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
HERMITAGE YANN CHAVE 2017
THE VINTAGE
The Hermitage represents only 1.2 ha of the estate. These 25-year-old vines are located in Beaume and Péléat, on a southwest-facing loess slope. Vinification differs from Crozes-Hermitage by a longer fermentation (3 to 4 weeks). It is carried out in the gentlest possible way, with temperatures not exceeding 28°C. After decuvage, the wines are transferred into new half-muids, where they will undergo malolactic fermentation. Aging in these containers will last a year, which is well suited to the syrah since the wine is not excessively woody. After this aging phase, the wines remain in tank for another six months in order to decant them naturally before bottling.
THE YANN CHAVE DOMAIN
The Domaine Yann Chave is located in the municipality of Mercurol and extends over 18 hectares within the Crozes-Hermitage and Hermitage appellations. Yann Chave, whom his parents wanted to take away from the peasant community by pushing him to do long studies, quickly returned to the family estate in 1996, abandoning a career in bank inspection to live from his passion for wine. Following exposure to an insecticide treatment, he sought an alternative route and engaged in organic farming in the early 2000s. The domain was certified in 2007. The wines of the estate have reached a high level; they exude a lot of personality and sign a beautiful interpretation of the terroir, especially on its unique hectare planted on the mythical hill of the Hermitage.
