The Chave family has shaped the northern Rhône for centuries, and their work in Saint-Joseph reflects the same precision and vision that define their Hermitage.

It is a poised and expressive Saint-Joseph that offers a clear impression of Syrah grown on granite and handled with Chave’s experienced hand.
