Yann Chave

The contrast of 2014 to 2013 is intriguing to Yann Chave. He notes that "the '14s have good body and finesse, with no hard edges," while the '13s, although elegant as well, "have a core of acidity that is already making them a little difficult to appreciate, but it will allow them to age very, very well." The 2014s should definitely be broached before the '13s, but that doesn't mean that they'll be short-lived, he added, pointing out that "their depth of fruit will fool a lot of people into thinking they can only be drunk young, but they're probably going to be a good surprise" for cellaring. Chave admits that he's a fan of more fruit-forward vintages, finding years like 2010 and 2005 "too strict, with too much tannin to be really enjoyable. Intellectual, for sure, but often not a lot of fun."
