J.L. Chave Sélection Sybèle Crozes-Hermitage Blanc 2023

Stone fruits, tart peach, blanched almonds, and minerality all emerge from the 2023 Crozes-Hermitage Sybèle Blanc. Medium-bodied and juicy on the palate, with beautiful balance, integrated acidity, and a clean, fresh finish, it’s drinking nicely today yet should easily have 2-4 years of longevity. It’s impeccably made, and I’d happily drink a bottle. Drink date: 2025-2029. Score – 91. (jebdunnuck.com, May 9, 2025)
