The Domaine Jean-Louis Chave St Joseph Clos Florentin 2015 is a red wine originating from the Northern Rhône Valley`s esteemed Saint-Joseph appellation. This cuvée is crafted entirely from Syrah grapes, sourced from a historic vineyard site in Mauves, known for its storied past and granitic soils. The 2015 vintage is recognised for its significant ripeness and structure, bolstered by a notable acidity. Jean-Louis Chave, a family producer with over 500 years of winemaking history, prioritises traditional methods, using indigenous yeasts and predominantly neutral oak for maturation. Expect complex aromas of ripe dark fruits, smoked meats, and subtle minerality.
