Benchmark Northern Rhône Syrah from J.L. Chave’s négociant label, assembled from granite sites around Mauves, Tournon and Saint‑Jean‑de‑Muzols for a dark‑fruited, spicy, mineral style.
The vineyards used for Offerus are located in two distinct St. Joseph areas. The communities of Mauves, Tournon, and St. Jean de Muzols yields most of the blend. 80% of this southern fruit comes from one of their own vineyards called Les Clos Florentin, which Jean Louis bought in 2009. These are old vines that were only worked by hand or by horse and grown biodynamically on granite. Fermented in large, wood, open top fermenters and then finished in old oak demi-muids. Stunning value wine that give you a taste of what the big Boy Chave wines can bring to the party.
