Jean-Louis Chave Saint-Joseph, Northern Rhône 2020

96-97 Points “This vintage is highly successful at Chave, and this wine, which would qualify as the gateway bottling made from estate fruit, looks to be outstanding, with juicy, spice-laced red and blue fruit character of noteworthy freshness, plus strong florality and mineral drive. I was also struck by the fineness of the tannins, which will likely make the final wine deceptively approachable on release. Don’t be fooled - this wine has a long and enviable track record for rewarding patience.” – Vinous
