The Chaves, with the exception of négociants Chapoutier and Paul Jaboulet Aîné, are the largest landowners on the Hermitage Hill; and the work this traditional family put into their terraced vineyards and quality of grapes at the domaine are keys to the excellence of the wines. 

"Lovely notes of lemon curd, crème fraîche, bitter almond and dried peach and pineapple run through a long, creamy finish. As beautiful as the flavors are, the texture and drive through the finish are even better." Wine Spectator

"Family-owned Domaine Jean-Louis Chave is one of the finest, and oldest, estates in the northern Rhône...Arguably one of France’s finest estates..." James Lawther MW
