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
The Jean Louis Chave Hermitage 1989 is a monument of French wine culture and an absolute highlight from the legendary Domaine Chave. For generations, the Chave family has cultivated their plots on the steep Hermitage hill in the Rhône with a dedication that is palpable in every drop. The 1989 Vintage is considered one of the greatest of the 20th century – perfect conditions for this Syrah, which shines today in its full ripeness.
Jean-Louis Chave vinifies in a classic and uncompromising manner: hand-harvested grapes from the best vineyards, spontaneous fermentation, and extended aging in large wooden barrels. No fining, no filtration – a pure expression of terroir and craftsmanship. The wine has been nurtured for decades in the cool cellars of the Domaine and has developed a complexity that is unparalleled.
On the nose, a fascinating array of aromas unfolds: dark berries, dried figs, truffles, tobacco, a hint of leather, and spices. On the palate, the 1989 Jean Louis Chave Hermitage reveals its full class – powerfully structured, with silky tannins that have long since shed their youthful austerity. Deep fruit meets mineral precision, and the finish is endless, carried by noble elegance and spicy length.
