Jean-Louis Chave Selections 'Offerus' Saint-Joseph 2019 CORTESE revealing layers of sherry oakThe project of Offerus has evolved since its first vintage of 1995. In the beginning, 100% of the wine was purchased from producers of high quality small quantity St Joseph domaines. Since the late 1990s, Jean Louis Chave began purchasing and replanting parcels of St. Joseph. Currently, over 60% of the Offerus comes from these young vines owned by the Domaine JL Chave, which sells off the juice in bulk to JL Chave Selection for elevage and bottling.
