Yann ChaveSaint Joseph 2023

About this wine

This Saint-Joseph from Yann Chave is a beautiful introduction to northern Rhône reds, where Syrah shows its most elegant and refined side. At 13% alcohol, it's perfectly balanced and won't overwhelm your palate, making it an excellent choice for discovering what makes this appellation so special.

On the nose, expect vibrant red berries, black pepper, and a touch of violet that's characteristic of cool-climate Syrah. The palate is medium-bodied with silky tannins, offering flavors of red currants, crushed herbs, and a subtle smokiness that lingers beautifully. The 2023 vintage brings fresh acidity and purity of fruit that makes this wine incredibly drinkable.

This Saint-Joseph pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, duck breast, or a classic Swiss rösti topped with sausages. Serve it at 16-17°C to let all the aromas express themselves fully. If you're planning a cozy dinner, this is the kind of wine that makes everything taste better without stealing the show.
