Domaine Jean-Louis Chave is a prestigious wine producer located in the village of Mauves, in the Saint-Joseph region, across the Rhône River from Hermitage—the source of their most renowned wines. The Chave family has been cultivating vines since 1481.
Today, Jean-Louis Chave leads the estate, which encompasses 14.5 hectares in Hermitage, making them one of the largest landowners in the appellation. Their wines, including both red and white Hermitage, are crafted primarily from Syrah, Marsanne, and Roussanne grape varieties.
These wines rank among the most esteemed in the Rhône Valley, consistently achieving high prices and exceptional ratings. The Chave family is renowned for their commitment to traditional winemaking techniques. They practice organic farming, prioritize low yields, harvest grapes at full ripeness, minimize the use of new oak, and avoid filtration, focusing on minimal intervention.
Their goal is to produce wines that authentically express the noble terroir of Northern Rhône.
