Domaine Jean-Louis Chave

Cotes Du Rhone Rouge

The Chave wines are benchmark expressions. This glides gaily down with fruity exuberance, sumptuous bursts of juicy raspberry and darker berries articulated with spice and finely-drawn acidic touches. Elegant and aromatic, ripe and textural.91/100 | Vinous "Lurid ruby. Ripe cherries and red berry liqueur on the deeply perfumed, spicetinged nose. Shows impressive power and breadth on the palate, offering rich black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors complicated by hints of lavender and peppery spices. The smooth, gently tannic finish delivers solid punch and repeating red berry and floral notes." (JR)
