J.L. Chave Sélection Hermitage Blanche Marsanne Roussanne 2016

Opened about 30 minutes prior to dinner but no decant. Served slightly chilled. The 2016 “Blanche” pours a deep straw color with medium viscosity. Developing with notes of ripe stone fruit, tropical fruit, nutmeg, white pepper, minerals and cotton candy. On the palate, the wine is dry with lower acid. Confirming the notes from the nose, the finish is medium+. This is a wine of impeccable texture to match the king crab legs with dinner. Drink now through 2031. — a day ago

@Shay A agree…huge value even though I wouldn’t categorize them as inexpensive by any means.

Circa J.L. Chave Sélection Saint-Joseph Marsanne Roussanne

This 2022 is next level. Have had several Rhône whites recently and this is a standard bearer. So focused. About editing and restraint with subtle hints of this and that without hitting you over the with anything. Dominated by Rousanne which explains its elegance and subtlety. Has a honeyed fresh slightly poached apricot and apple combo with whiffs of baking spices. Great Lacey quartz structure. Beguiling.. perfect with scallops, acorn squash and rice pilaf — 2 months ago

Black olive and earth notes. Very approachable already in its young age. Lacking a bit of punch to make it special — a month ago
