J.L. Chave Selection Hermitage Farconnet 2018

Jean-Louis Chave\’s Selection label offers his genius at a fraction of the flagship price, sourced from three distinct Hermitage sites. Farconnet blends fruit from Diognires, Pleat, and Greffieux, each contributing spice, finesse, and structure to a silky Syrah of remarkable elegance. The 2018 shows cracked pepper, lavender, and gamey notes with the lightness that sets Chave apart from heavier-handed Rhne producers. Drink it now or age it another decade with confidence.
