The big news here is that Jean-Louis Chave will, with the 2015 vintage, finally release this historic domain’s first single-vineyard Saint-Joseph and what a wine it is. Made from fruit grown in Chave’s Clos Florentin, in the family’s hometown of Mauves, it is among the top wines of the appellation, to my taste. I’ve tasted it from barrel many times over the years, when it was a component for Chave’s reliably excellent (now “regular”) Saint-Joseph and while Jean-Louis always knew that, someday, it would wind up as a stand-alone wine, it took until the outstanding 2015 vintage for it to actually happen. To call it a must-buy for northern Rhône junkies is an understatement. Almost as big a news is that there is a 2015 Ermitage Cuvée Cathelin bottling, the first one since 2009 and only the seventh made since it debuted with the 1990 vintage.
