What is the Cuvée Cathelin by Jean-Louis Chave and why is it so rare?
The Cuvée Cathelin is the absolute prestige wine of the Domaine Jean-Louis Chave, produced only in vintages deemed truly exceptional. This ultra-rare cuvée represents a variation of the red Hermitage with the same lieux-dits but at different percentages. It is crafted only in exceptional years, for example in 2003 and 2009 for the most recent ones. Its confidential nature and extraordinary quality make it one of the most sought-after bottles in the entire Rhône Valley.
