JEAN-LOUIS CHAVE - Saint-Joseph - 2018

JEAN-LOUIS CHAVE

Saint-Joseph 2018

Looking at the 2018 from barrel, I was able to taste two barrel samples of the 2018 Saint Joseph. It’s largely in the same style as the 2017 and just textbook Saint Joseph with its darker, mineral-laced fruits and smoked meat and pepper aromas and flavors. It’s beautifully done, medium to full-bodied, and will drink nicely in its youth yet also age.
