More about this Producer
The Domaine is currently under the direction of Jean-Louis Chave and his father, Gérard Chave. It consists of parcels in the appellations of Hermitage and St Joseph.
The Chave family is based in a small village on the northern right bank of the Rhone. There have been Chaves growing vines on the famous Hermitage hill since 1481. Gerard Chave took over from his father in 1970 and rapidly achieved megastar status due to the extraordinary quality of his wines. Recently he has passed on the winemaking responsibilities to his son Jean-Louis.
The heart of the operation, however, is across the river, on the hill of Hermitage. Here, Chave owns vines in nine of the eighteen vineyards that cover the hill. Jean-Louis Chave and his father believe that the rich variety of terroirs to be found on the hill are vital in blending a wine which has all of the features they desire, including finesse, structure and complexity.
Domaine Jean-Louis Chave is a family-owned winery. It has been passed from father to son since 1481.
