The wine

Delicate flowery notes wrapped in black fruit, olives and surprising tarry hints, and the strength and maturity of this wine, come together to form the backbone of the Jean-Louis Chave Saint-Joseph. An excellent medium-bodied red wine; elegant, spicy and remarkably long.

Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker, Jancis Robinson, and Suckling

I tasted several parcels that will go into the 2016 Saint Joseph, rating them all in this range. All were distinctive in their own ways, from the perfumed, floral notes and elegance of Les Challeys to the almost jammy cherry flavors of Les Oliviers and the dark-fruited precision of Le Clos.

— Joe Czerwinski (29/12/2017)Robert Parker Wine Advocate Vintage 2016 - 92-94 PARKER

Meaty, fleshy, chewy, full in body, but lacks the vibrancy of the 2017s. More shut down than you might expect. Very much teething. Finely tannic.

— Richard Hemming (07/11/2018)JancisRobinson.com Vintage 2016 - 17+ JANCIS ROBINSON

Super floral. Violets, fragrant and fine-ground white peppers, dark plums and black stones, spices and dark chocolate notes too. The palate has finesse, detail, power and impressive balance. There’s a plump red-fruited core that is really muscular. Expansive body building to an astutely balanced and elegant finish. Graphite to close. Brilliant. Barrel Sample.
