Céleste J.L. Chave Sélection Saint-Joseph White Blend

An elegant blend, 85% old vine #Marsanne + 15% #Roussane.

Really nice. Not other-wordly but still really pleasant. Followed raveneau butteaux which isnt easy. Bright, aromatic, but a nice honeysuckle kick on the finish. Woooooot

Golden, honeyed wine

Med. gold color. Citrus, stone fruits, almond, flowers and a bit of herbs. Mouth coating-waxy. Good acid/mineral structure. A lot for the price.

Impressive. Full bodied with tremendous definition and great acidity. Subtle and finesse in aroma and flavor, with mineral and light floral in the forefront. Waxiness is there, but contained.

Medium gold color. Nose is herbs and spicy. Palate is pear, orange and something a bit tropical. Quite dense and rich. Back end shows the alcohol of 14%. Overall an interesting wine but not something I’d drink frequently.
