Jaffurs Wine Cellars was founded by Craig Jaffurs, known for Rhone blends, 1994 was first release, in 2016 he turned the business over to Dan and Janelle Green & continues to support the winery. 100% Grenache Blanc, aged 50% in stainless steel & 50% in neutral French oak barrels for 6 months on its lees. Aromas of pure fruit on the nose, fresh & clean. On the palate peach & tropical fruit flavors with notes of honey & vanilla spice, crisp. Medium length, savory, nice balance ending with bright mineral character. Nice! Tasting Sample! — 9 days ago

Pure, beautiful and understated Grenache. ‘Twas served blind and all guesses ranged in the Pinot-Gamay camp. Lovely stuff - 2013 — a day ago

Very unusual to get a 100% Grenache Blanc. Usually a bit uni-dimensional but this is pleasant. Lightly floral with lemony acidity. — 4 days ago

Not as happy with this bottle as my last few. Still loaded with ripe berries, It’s good, don’t get me wrong, but maybe it has something to do with the calendar...at almost 16% abv this one will knock u on your backside if you’re not careful! — 2 days ago

Chat Fou is a unique mix of both red and white grapes - primarily Grenache with about 15% Clairette; Viognier, and Chasselas. It’s like a cousin to a GSM but with a softer, lighter, touch - fresher and less dense. Floral aromas with brambly raspberry, spiced red cherry flavors, and wet granite. Mild tannins with medium high acid. — 16 days ago

Prunes, plums and spice - all blended into a great sip that is just mesmerizing. There is a “heat” that kind of simmers on your palate that leads you think of the warmer climate and of stones baking in the sun, rather than the alcohol content (if that makes sense). Paired amazingly with Parma ham and steak tartare. — 4 days ago

Weird. Hits all the expected notes of high acid with floral sweetness and syrupy mouthfeel,but ends with a little bit of bitter tang. Used some in a cocktail and that worked great. — 16 days ago

Has a little bit of the mousey must smell on the nose but it has a lot of deep blue and purple fruit aromas and flavors. It’s a surprisingly bright wine with balanced acidity and tannins. Just beautiful! — 6 days ago

Love this wine - consistently a great Grenache. Opened right up - maybe a one hour decant and it’s ready to rock. — 10 days ago
