Why Cave selected it

A reference Northern Rhône Syrah from one of France’s benchmark estates; 2023 shows clarity of fruit and classic granitic lift, offering depth now with the ability to age and broad food versatility.

About the wine

 

Chave’s Saint-Joseph red comes from steep granitic slopes, with fruit sourced from estate-owned parcels primarily around Mauves and Saint-Jean-de-Muzols. Aged in large oak foudres and barrels, this wine balances pure Syrah fruit—blackberry and violet—with deep notes of smoke and graphite, showcasing both power and finesse.

About Domaine Jean-Louis Chave

The Chave family has been making wine in the Rhône since 1481, and Jean-Louis Chave now oversees one of the most revered estates in France. While the family's fame is centered on Hermitage, they have painstakingly restored old hillside terraces in Saint-Joseph, now producing some of the appellation's finest reds. Farming is organic, with low yields and meticulous vineyard work. The Saint-Joseph wines are made with whole-cluster fermentation and aged in a mix of large and small oak, focusing on elegance, terroir expression, and age-worthiness. Chave’s reds are known for their ability to develop complexity over decades, often entering a more expressive phase after 8–10 years in bottle.
