This collector's interest in wine stemmed from the unlimited potential to learn everyday about wine and its history. He's been collecting since the day he became the legal drinking age, sourcing mainly from the SAQ and auction houses. Wine has been stored in his temperature-controlled home cellar at 14 degrees.
The tasting note for 2020 Domaine Jean Louis Chave Hermitage is from Robert Parker and the score is 93-98 - Readers will note that the score range I've provided for Chave's 2020 Hermitage is much broader than typical. That's because my ratings for the numerous barrel samples tasted varied considerably, with one lot scoring as low as (91 - 93), while others were near-perfect (98 - 100). I should be able to provide a more precise picture following my next visit, but it was clear to me that—even more than usual—much will depend on Jean-Louis's skills at selection and blending. From the soft, elegant and red-fruited Péléat to the commanding, dark-fruited and mineral-laden Bessards—and the silky, finesseful and raspberry-laden Le Méal in between—there's no doubt a fine expression of Hermitage will eventually emerge from Chave's cellars.
