Fashioned from 100% Roussanne, the 2009 St.-Joseph Les Challeys Blanc offers up scents of rose water, sealing wax, tropical fruits and marmalade. It should drink nicely for 2-3 years. Under the inspired leadership of winemaker/administrator Jacques Grange, who has carte blanche authority from the proprietors, the Louis Roederer/Deutz Champagne firm, Delas has been on a fabulous qualitative roll for over a decade. They have enjoyed some great successes, so it is hard to say 2009 may be the magnum opus of Jacques Grange, but it certainly looks fabulous.Importer: Maison Marques et Domaines, Oakland, CA; tel.
