Their unmatched meticulousness continues through five centuries to render venerable expressions of the purest of Rhône terroir\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCritical Acclaim\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eD95\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDecanter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA tasting of the four main vineyards shows that Chave's 2017 domaine St-Joseph is looking strong. Le Clos is rich, fruity, opulent and velvety in texture, and hedonistic in this vintage. The Challeys component, from a granitic hill just above Le Clos, is structured and saline, with more black olive than Le Clos' blackberry. The clay and granite Dardouyes site contributes lush fruit, spice and a spry acidity, whereas the ethereal Bachesson has an incredible floral aroma. The general effect is one of rich fruit but good precision, superb balance and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJS94\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFinal blend in tank, immediately prior to bottling. This has fresh and exotic red fruit with plenty of spice and tarry nuances, plenty of fragrance and dry stony aromas, too. Elegant and plush with complex texture. The tannins are gently grippy. Finishes with chocolate and spice. Best from 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarrel Sample: 93-94\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Rouchier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42976015089888,"sku":"111010","price":71.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/domaine-rouchier-la-chave-saint-joseph_1.jpg?v=1663886498","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/domaine-rouchier-la-chave-saint-joseph-2017-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
