The first written record of the wine dates back to the 17th century, but it was the monks of the monastery that owns the vineyard that gave it its name.More recently, the wine is mentioned in Victor Hugo’s “Les Miserablesâ€? “My brother served him some fine Mauves wine that he never drank himself, as he said it was very expensiveâ€?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the 20th century, the winemakers formed a union to protect the Saint-Joseph name.
