Domaine Jean-Claude Marsanne

Saint-Joseph Syrah 2019

2019 vintage. Last tasted 10.30.24 (9.3). Popped for the staff as part of the usual Saturday Slurp. Previous visit was ridiculously delicious but undisciplined. All over the map and that was much of the charm...that rusticity and authenticity...but at Woodstock with 500K in attendance and the LSD-spiked punchbowl that ambushed The Who still found them nailing their set. Kinda similar to that. Yeah. So tonight's viz finds this bad boy relatively behaved with frontal palate richness and savory chocolate note along with a plushiness that was previously hinted at but unfulfilled. Gaminess gonzo for the most part as this seems to have settled into middle-age. Say it ain't so! Was crazy excellent in the punk rock era. Still excellent in the arena rock era. We'll see what happens in the crooner/standards era. 6.27.26. — a day ago

They don’t make ‘em like they use to. This wine is magic. Had this vintage a decade ago and it was spectacular then, still spectacular now pushing 30. — 4 months ago

Chateau St. Jean

Reserve Sonoma County Chardonnay 2016

Think I have the right one...high expectations here for some reason but very mediocre. Oaky with a metallic finish. Mellowed a bit after awhile but still. 14.4% no surprise. No cinq cepages here — 6 years ago

Domaine Jean-Louis Chave

Circa J.L. Chave Sélection Saint-Joseph Marsanne Roussanne 2021

2024 enjoyed 5/2026. tasted in lineup of Rhône Blanc, mostly rich and oily. this would have shown better if we started with this. I really like, I prefer the more mineral style -which is this. subtle white flowers, honeydew, under ripe peach. lemon curd showing after opening. — a month ago
