RHONE VALLEY

58

JEAN-LOUIS CHAVE

Chave is one of the oldest names in the world when it comes to fine

wine; the family has been producing wine in the Northern Rhone valley

since 1481. Today, the estate is managed by Jean-Louis Chave. In the

early days, the family made wine in Saint Joseph but in 1865 they

bought vineyards on the hill of Hermitage. Out of the 14ha they own

in Hermitage, 10ha is planted with Syrah and 4ha with Rousanne and

Marsanne for the Hermitage Blanc.

CHÂTEAU RAYAS

If one had to name the “Pétrus of the Southern Rhône” it would have

to be Château Rayas. This legendary estate in Châteauneuf du Pape

is producing extremely sought-after, glorious wines made of 100%

Grenache. The 23ha estate is located on sandy clay soils, giving a cooler

microclimate which allows for slow maturation of the grapes – resulting

in elegance and perfume. The style of the final product is perhaps best

captured by Jeff Leve: “The bouquet is haunting. The purity of fruit can be

other-worldly, the textures are extraordinarily silky, elegant and sensuous.”

GRAND VENEUR

Domaine Grand Veneur was created by Alain Jaume in 1979. It

originally extended over 9ha but has since grown to 78ha of vineyards

located in the finest plots of the Southern Rhône Valley appellations

Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Lirac and the Côtes du Rhône. The wines are

beautiful and come highly rated from many wine critics. “This estate,

under the leadership of Sebastien and Christophe Jaume, continues to

be one of the reference point producers for relatively modern styled

Châteauneuf du Papes. In addition to their top tier efforts, the portfolio

is loaded with smoking values at just about every price point.”
