Tasting Manager Kevin Davy’s French Wine Crush this week is the Yann Chave St.-Joseph 2023, a bright and succulent red from the Northern Rhône. While Yann Chave is best known for his Hermitage and Crozes-Hermitage wines, this St.-Joseph is a hidden gem that deserves attention. It has forest berries, warm spices, stones and a touch of smoke on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied, silky, and finely structured, with a savory, mineral-driven character. Kevin says this is excellent value for money and a fantastic introduction to the refined, elegant style of Yann Chave.
