Domaine Jean Louis Chave 2022 Saint-Joseph "Clos Florentin" 750ml

Exhibiting more red fruit but still showing ample darker fruit, spice, and dried flowers, the 2022 Saint Joseph Clos Florentin is medium to full-bodied and has these supple, velvety tannins on the palate that really set this cuvée apart from the Estate release. Coming from the Clos Florentin vines located on the flatter, sandier soils south of Mauve, it shows the round, ripe, seductive, and sexy style of this cuvée and is going to shine over the coming 10-12 years or more. Drink 2025-2037.
