The 2023 Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Sélection Saint-Joseph Blanc Circa is a refined Northern Rhône white blend crafted from Marsanne and Roussanne, sourced from hillside vineyards in Saint-Joseph. Elegant and expressive, it showcases aromas of white peach, pear and citrus blossom layered with hints of honeysuckle, almond and subtle minerality.
On the palate is medium-bodied with a silky texture, vibrant freshness and beautifully balanced fruit, leading to a long, clean and lightly savoury finish. The style is polished yet approachable, capturing the purity and finesse that define Jean-Louis Chave’s Rhône wines.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic introduction to premium Northern Rhône whites for customers who enjoy White Burgundy or richer styles of Chardonnay. It offers excellent balance between freshness and texture, making it versatile with seafood, roast chicken, creamy dishes or soft cheeses. Drink now or over the next 5–7 years.
