The 2023 Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Sélection Crozes-Hermitage Blanc Sybèle is a vibrant and expressive white Rhône blend sourced from vineyards in the Crozes-Hermitage appellation. Crafted by the Chave family, this wine showcases the freshness and aromatic character of Marsanne and Roussanne, offering a balanced and approachable interpretation of Northern Rhône white wine.
The nose is bright and inviting, revealing aromas of white peach, pear and citrus blossom alongside hints of honeysuckle, fresh almond and subtle mineral notes. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a smooth texture, lively acidity and flavours of stone fruit, lemon zest and orchard fruits. The finish is fresh, clean and persistent, highlighting both fruit purity and regional character.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic white Rhône for those seeking a textured yet refreshing wine with plenty of versatility at the table. Pair with grilled fish, prawns, roast chicken or creamy pasta dishes. Best enjoyed while young and vibrant over the next 3–5 years, when its fresh fruit and aromatic complexity are at their best.
