2005 Chapoutier St. Joseph Les Granits, 2013 Le Pianelle Bramaterra, 2015 Lavantureux Chablis Fourchaume

2005 Chapoutier Les Granits (from magnum) is at peak, exhibiting burnished tannins with a sweet edge, and framing lush black fruit.. really quite voluptuous for a northern Rhone...but lacks the incisive minerality that I like in syrah from this region... 

2013 Le Pianelle is kicking into gear... nicely approachable... l like this wine.

2015 Lavantureux Fourchaume is an enjoyable interpretation of this venerable cru, but lacks the bracing structure that I look for in great Chablis
