WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Saint-Joseph Selection Circa is a premium wine produced by the renowned winemaker Jean-Louis Chave. This wine comes from the Saint-Joseph appellation, which is known for its steep slopes and granite soils that impart a unique minerality to the grapes. The vineyards are carefully tended by hand, and the grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness to ensure the highest quality. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including fermentation in oak barrels and aging in French oak barrels for up to 14 months. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of the Roussanne grape. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate the finesse and sophistication of a well-crafted wine.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine Jean-Louis Chave
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
