Clos Florentin is a tiny, walled parcel near Mauves, planted to Syrah on granite and loess soils, and farmed by the Chave family with the same meticulous care as their Hermitage vineyards. It was acquired and replanted by Jean-Louis Chave in the early 2000s and has quickly become one of the most singular and refined expressions of Saint-Joseph.

The 2022 vintage offers a pitch-perfect balance of ripeness and restraint: aromas of blackberry, violets, black olive, and cracked pepper, with a palate thatā€™s silky and vertical, driven by fine tannins and electric acidity. Thereā€™s no heavinessā€”just a graceful unfolding of savory, mineral depth.

Fermented with native yeasts, partially whole-cluster, and aged in mostly neutral barrels, Clos Florentin feels more like a grand cru Burgundy with Syrah soul. It's contemplative, cellar-worthy, and a clear standout in the Chave lineup.

"The medium-bodied 2022 Saint-Joseph Clos Florentin bursts with fragrant violet, raspberry, red plum and cedar paired with earthy undertones. Wrapped in silky tannins and neatly balanced by bright acidity, this is a promising Saint-Joseph with substance and class. At this early stage, I feel that the classic Saint-Joseph has the slight edge, but the ultimate test awaits after bottling." ā€”Nicolas Greinacher

Robert Parker

"The 2022 Saint-Joseph Le Clos Florentin reveals a somber, complex bouquet of spices, iris, violet, dark berries and mulberries mingled with delicate notes of chocolate. Medium to full-bodied, structured and compact, it's rich and opulent with a vibrant, perfumed mid-palate framed by velvety, youthful tannins, concluding with a long, mineral and coniferous forest-inflected finish. Currently introverted, which is typical at this stage, it requires time to integrate its Ć©levage and fully adjust to its recent bottling." ā€”Yohan Castaing
