Production of red wine here was off by almost 30 percent in 2014, Jean-Louis Chave told me. The rainy conditions during most of the summer necessitated lots of selection in the vineyards, and while the fruit that survived the culling was ripe and clean, the damage was done, yield-wise. "The old winemaking story: lots and lots of work to make a good wine but less of it," as the always introspective and rarely excitable Chave put it.

Jean-Louis Chave's decades-long Saint-Joseph project is finally coming into its final form. The finishing touches were being applied to his updated facility in the Clos Florentin during my visit in late December. Vines have been and are being planted on a steeply terraced south-facing hillside at the south end of Mauves, and Chave told me that he could, maybe, possibly, be ready to bottle two different Saint-Josephs sooner than later, one from Bachasson and the other from the Clos Florentin. But he is no hurry, he said, adding that "this has taken so much time and energy, why rush things now?"
