Domaine Yann Chave Crozes Hermitage Yann Chave 2024

Medium-bodied, clean, balanced, and classy, the 2024 Crozes-Hermitage has textbook aromatics of ripe blackberries, mulberries, peppery herbs, and violets. It's a delicious, classy Northern Rhône to drink over the coming 7-8 years. This was a challenging vintage for the Crozes appellation, but this wine brings plenty of pleasure. Drink 2026-2033.

The 2024 Crozes-Hermitage first wafts notes of white pepper, blackberry, red plum and a touch of graphite. Medium-bodied and concentrated, the 2024 is a delicious follow-up to the equally enticing 2023 I tasted last year. Clocks out with gentle persistence on the spice-tinged finish.
