Description
The Hermitage Farconnet maintains every bit of Chave’s exacting standards but costs just a fraction of the price. The fruit for Farconnet is meticulously selected from three different parcels: Diognières, Péleat, and Greffieux, and Chave’s legendary blending skills are on clear display. The 2015 northern Rhône vintage is one of the greatest vintages of the past few decades. The wines are endowed with soaring dynamic energy, power, and complexity – qualities that are easily felt in the 2015 Farconnet.
Tasting notes:
Ripe and fleshy in feel, with an open-knit personality to the mix of steeped blackberry and black cherry compote flavors, backed by warmed anise, smoldering black tea and loam notes. Offers well-integrated grip through the finish, making this approachable while giving it staying power. Drink now through 2032.
