Fantastic wine. Not as herbal as the Jamet Cote Rotie, not as ripe as the Guigal La Turque. Firm tannins. — 2 days ago

Wonderfully complex lingering and nuanced. This was simply a gem. Balanced rollercaoster of Rhône sophistication. Excellent! — 18 days ago

Better than the 20 for my palate, with a bit of freshness, but still not my cuppa — 7 days ago

Very good, but not the best ‘97 Chapelle bottle I’ve had. — a month ago

Excellent. The oak has been absorbed. Brighter acidity than the 2015 Beaucastel Roussanne VV. — 2 days ago

Pale color. Almost transparent yellow but still with a thickness and a heft. I love the Marsanne grape and its punchiness and complexity. This wine has developed nicely and is ready for prime time. Lemon and other citrus notes. Lingers and was the perfect compliment for lemon and egg tagliatelle. — 16 days ago

Punching above its weight class. Super Marsanne! Zippy and fleshy fruit. Great value for the $. — 5 days ago

2001-23 years old and still bringing it. . Near perfect harmony of tannins and fruits. Long lingering finish. A pleasure to drink. Glad I had the opportunity.  — 4 days ago

A treat as I haven’t had a chave in a long time. A little young at this point but worth opening if you enjoy more fruit. Super elegant and relatively light in texture. — a month ago
