Rather than bottling from a single vineyard, Chave is known for blending from many sites to give a snapshot of the hill as a whole. Subsequently, the wines have an approachability and a feeling of completion. They feel like the beginning, the middle and the end to the story. Full, rich and spicy with great structure and age-ability but welcoming none the less. From the négociant arm of Jean-Louis Chave, the Sélection wines offer a glimpse into the mindset behind what many critics consider the benchmark wines of Hermitage. Sourced beyond the domaine’s own holdings, they carry the same classical touch, balance, restraint, and fidelity to terroir, just at a more approachable level.
