"Saturated deep red-ruby. Black raspberry, gunflint and pepper on the nose. Juicy and complex in the mouth, with flavors following directly from the aromas. Still quite primary, even grapey. But offers lovely shape and grip, and some early sex appeal. Today this negociant bottling seems a bit more complex than the Chaves' domain Saint-Joseph . . ."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
