Yann Chave
Yann Chave
Yann Chave produces gloriously aromatic Syrah from the Rhone Valley in France. His Crozes Hermitage is aged principally in stainless steel vats and is one of the very best examples of the appellation. Le Rouvre is a selection of the oldest vines from a splendidly sited parcel in the south of the appellation and is aged in 500 litre demi-muids. It combines ripe, spicy aromas with vivid fruit and a dense, chewy texture. Yann makes only a few barrels of his Hermitage, a rich, concentrated wine of great power and personality.
