Chave Yann

Chave Yann, France - Rhône

Wow, what wines! Yann makes wines that take your breath away with apparent ease. In the Crozes-Hermitage and Hermitage appellations, he has a wealth of old vineyards. In the cellar, the grapes are destemmed in the classic manner, fermented and carefully matured in demi-muids (only a handful of which are new). Yann Chave's wines are fruity, dense and combine minerality, power and originality in a way that only great world-class wines can.
