Every year, this is one of the allocations that I'm most excited about.
Chave's ability to render Syrah with depth, detail, and sophistication is without parallel. While the Hermitage is among the world's great wines, Chave's Saint-Joseph is where you find outrageous value.

Along with Pierre Gonon, Chave produces our favorite expression of St. Joseph. Chave's St. Joseph is something that we go deep on every vintage.
The Chave family has deep roots in Saint-Joseph, dating all the way back to 1481. Jean-Louis has been a major proponent of Saint-Joseph’s potential, buying choice parcels and painstakingly rebuilding terraces there since the 1990s. Today, Chave's family home is in Mauves, in the beating heart of Saint-Joseph.
The 2020 is an absolutely gorgeous vintage for the wine. It's bright and deep with an incredibly appealing texture. I really like the seamless weave of spices and floral notes.
Chave's Saint-Joseph is a wine that I buy in quantity and cellar every vintage. Chave's Saint-Joseph with age is impressive and delicious. I strongly advise you to grab at least a few bottles. It's a wine that you'll want around in quantity.
