About the manufacturer
Jean Louis Chave
Jean Louis Chave is a legendary institution in the Rhône Valley and represents Hermitage in its purest, most classic form. For generations, the estate has cultivated prime vineyard sites in the Northern Rhône, remaining true to a philosophy that prioritizes tradition and craftsmanship over trends.
Jean Louis Chave's Wines are born from a profound understanding of the terroir and meticulous work in both the vineyard and the cellar. The Hermitage Rouges, in particular, demonstrate what is possible when slate soils, perfect ripeness, and patience are combined: powerful, complex, and elegant rather than heavy. The renowned Cuvée Cathelin is a legend in its own right – a Hermitage Blanc of such refinement and longevity that collectors worldwide seek it out.
What distinguishes this winery is its rejection of simplification. You won't find any modern gimmicks here, but rather honest, precise Wines that derive their greatness from authenticity. The Vintages age beautifully and develop a precious depth of complexity over the years.
At Wine In Time you will find carefully selected products from this winery – perfect if you want to understand what great Hermitage means.

Hermitage Rouge
The Jean Louis Chave Hermitage Rouge 2005 is far more than just a wine – it is the vinified essence of a legendary terroir. The Jean Louis Chave winery is one of the absolute icons of Rhone and has cultivated plots on the best sites of the Hermitage hill for generations. Here, where granite and the southern climate allow Syrah to ripen to perfection, Wines of exceptional depth and elegance are created.
The 2005 Hermitage Rouge was vinified with the utmost care. The grapes come exclusively from the estate's Grand Cru vineyards, are hand-harvested, and spontaneously fermented. Aging takes place over several months in French oak barrels, without any fining or filtration – a purist approach that adds nothing to the terroir but preserves everything. The result: a wine that showcases Hermitage in its purest form.
On the nose, this 2005 Jean Louis Chave Hermitage Rouge presents itself with notes of dark berries, black pepper, violets, and a hint of truffle. On the palate, an impressive structure unfolds: powerful, densely woven, with silky tannins and an exceptional freshness that prevents the wine from ever feeling heavy despite its power. The finish is long, mineral, and possesses a contemplative depth.
At Wine In Time in Vienna, you'll find not only this exceptional Hermitage, but a whole world of great Wines. Browse through our Red Wine selection and have your discoveries conveniently delivered to your home – with express shipping even at short notice.
Decant the wine at least one hour before serving and serve it at 16–18 degrees Celsius. It pairs perfectly with lamb, game, or aged hard cheese – but it's also a delightful experience on its own.
