Domaine Jean-Louis Chave, Saint-Joseph 2023
$114
Chave doesn’t have a sprawling range - you can count all of the domaine bottlings on one hand. And the 500 year-old family estate has very few peers in terms of wine-world prestige. That’s what makes Chave’s Saint-Joseph such an unlikely source of value. Yet year after year, it’s one of the smartest buys in the Northern Rhône. It’s also delicious right away, offering the chance to enjoy style-defining Rhône syrah without the classic wait.
Here's what you should know about it:
- Jean-Louis Chave represents the 16th consecutive generation of his family to make wine in the Northern Rhône, dating back to 1481.
- This floral, peppery red wine is made with syrah from the heart of Saint-Joseph, just across the river from Hermitage.
- It can age seamlessly for 20 years, but you can also enjoy it without hesitation today.
As sommeliers, we often get asked, “What’s the best wine on the list?”
