Jean-Louis Chave Selection 'Circa' Saint-Joseph Blanc
Regular price $43.99From the benchmark producer Jean-Louis Chave, “Circa” Blanc is a beautifully composed white from Saint-Joseph, built on 60% Roussanne and 40% Marsanne.
This is Northern Rhone white done right—aromatic and expressive, with layers of ripe pear, citrus oil, white flowers, and a subtle honeyed note. The palate delivers both texture and lift, showing stone fruit, almond, and a fine mineral edge that keeps it precise and food-friendly.
What makes “Circa” compelling is its balance: it has the richness and polish Chardonnay drinkers crave, but with more nuance, less oak, and a distinctly Old World sense of place. Approachable now, yet structured enough to impress—this is everyday Rhône with serious pedigree.
Wine Spectator—94 points—"There’s beautiful, creamy fruit purity to this rich yet energetic version, with fleshy yellow apple and golden plum threaded with dried herbs and racy mineral energy. Shows just the barest kiss of oak on the well-meshed finish, with bitter pithiness. Delicious, lush and bright. Drink now through 2030."
