The Chave family name on a more accessible Hermitage. J.L. Chave Selections is the négociant arm of Jean-Louis Chave's operation — distinct from the legendary estate wines, made under the same family direction but drawn largely from purchased fruit and contracted parcels. The Hermitage Blanc bottling (often labeled "Blanche") sources mainly from the lieu-dit Maison Blanche atop the hill, blending Marsanne and Roussanne and aging two years in used barrels. The 2021 was a cool, classical Northern Rhône vintage — the kind of year that flatters white Hermitage, giving it tension and minerality alongside the variety's signature richness. Expect quince, honeyed citrus, buttered almond, and a powdered-stone finish. Drinking beautifully young but built for serious cellaring.

Decanter

96 points

"A tasting of the constituent lieux-dits before blending shows a white Hermitage that is about tension, freshness and minerality. It's zesty and crisp, with good acidity and will drink well from the outset. This isn't as concentrated as some recent vintages, but it's still a highly impressive wine that will age with interest. Picked on 23 August."

Wine Spectator

97 points

"Complex layers of heady apple and quince unfurl alongside toasted hazelnut, acacia and smoked green herb notes in this gorgeous, concentrated white. Saline, bitter mineral elements cut through for a chiseled finish."

More about J-L Chave Selections

Jean-Louis Chave branched out from the family legacy with his négociant label in 1995, cherry-picking grapes from trusted growers across the northern Rhône. The result? Impeccably made wines that deliver serious quality at prices that feel like a gift. Think of it as a more accessible doorway into Chave's world.
