Red wine
Domaine Jean-Louis Chave, Saint-Joseph 2015
RRP £72
The 2015 vintage was exceptional in the Northern Rhône; rich, ripe and generous. As you might expect therefore, this has masses of ripe blackberry flavour, and is markedly fuller in body than the 2016. Rounded and juicy on the palate, it really coats the mouth with flavour and sweet tannin. It’s a little richer in alcohol than other vintages, but it still feels balanced, and finishes long.
