Jean-Louis Chave Sélection Hermitage Farconnet 2020
The 2020 Jean-Louis Chave Selection Hermitage Rouge "Farconnet" is widely lauded as an exceptional, high-value northern Rhône Syrah that provides a more accessible, earlier-drinking alternative to the main domaine wine, while still maintaining high standards of quality. Critics and reviewers often highlight its intense, smoky, and mineral-driven character
Tasting Notes: Highly aromatic with dominant notes of plum, fresh blackberries, wild black raspberry, and violet. It is often described as having complex, savory undertones of smoky bacon, black olive, licorice, and damp earth/graphite. Full-bodied and rich, with bright, intense acidity balancing deep, concentrated black fruit. The palate features savory notes of braised beef, iron, and a distinct mineral, rocky quality. It has firm but refined tannins, with many reviewers finding it balanced and approachable, yet with the potential for long-term aging (2025–2037+).
Saturated violet color. Smoky, mineral-accented black and blue fruit scents are complicated by olive paste, licorice and f loral nuances that build in the glass. Juicy and energetic in the mouth, offering vibrant blackberry, boysenberry, candied violet and smoky bacon flavors that become sweeter with air. The f loral and mineral notes come back strong on the penetrating finish, which shows outstanding persistence and fine-grained, harmonious tannins.
95 Points. Vinous. Drink: 2027-2037.
