Tasting Notes

Vinous Nicolas Greinacher - 28 Mar 24
Using roughly 10% whole-clusters during fermentation, the 2021 Saint-Joseph offers a red-fruited profile paired with earthy gradations and leafy undertones. Medium-bodied and well balanced by bright acidity, the seamlessly sculpted 2021 comes with absolutely no hard edges and concludes with a clean finish. Chave bottled the 2021 slightly earlier than usual in order to help maintain its freshness.

Jancis Robinson Alistair Cooper - 03 Oct 22
Cask samples tasted at the domaine.Sample 1: Bachasson Pure granite. Spice, violet and iron filings on the nose. Relatively light palate – perfumed with pepper and good tension. Not the most concentrated but excellent purity.Sample 2: Chaillés Very tight, restrained nose with some perfume coming through. Floral, zippy, taut and vibrant palate.Sample 3: Dardouille Meaty and savoury with perfume and violet beneath. This has power and weight with powdery firm tannins as the backbone. (AC)

Rhone Vineyard Valley of Fine Wine

Rhone

The Rhône Valley in southeastern France is famed for its diverse wines. It's divided into Northern Rhône, known for Syrah-based reds and white wines from Viognier, Marsanne, and Roussanne, and Southern Rhône, which features blends like Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. Northern Rhône wines, such as Côte-Rôtie and Hermitage, are intense and complex, while Southern Rhône's Châteauneuf-du-Pape is known for powerful, spicy reds. Top producers include E. Guigal, Domaine du Pegau, and Domaine Jean-Louis Chave, exemplifying the region's rich winemaking tradition.
