Tasting Notes
Chaves's 2003 Hermitage Chave, like the most successful Burgundies from that anomalous vintage, somehow retains a sense of mineral freshness that balances this wine's remarkable concentration and massive fruit. Tasted at the domaine, it's even floral and perfumed on the nose, an incredible feat when faced with that summers's implacable heat. Full-bodied, massively rich and decadently cream in texture, its delivers waves of mixed red and black fruits that avoid any overtly any overtly raisiny character, finishing vibrant, peppery and long. 100/100 Robert Parker
