Tasting Notes

Vinous Nicolas Greinacher - 28 Mar 24
The flamboyant 2018 Saint-Joseph wafts from the glass with flashy cooked black and blue fruits, pencil shavings, cedar and a dash of spice-box. Full-bodied and intensely concentrated, the 2018 has its elevated 15% alcohol neatly integrated and closes with good grip on the bold finish. It’s not the most elegant rendition of this cuvée, but it is so delicious.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Joe Czerwinski - 20 Jan 22
The 2018 Saint Joseph is wonderfully floral and expressive, with notes of violets and garrigue playing off raspberry and cherry fruit. Medium to full-bodied, it's silky, fresh and long on the finish.

Rhone Vineyard Valley of Fine Wine

Rhone

The Rhône Valley in southeastern France is famed for its diverse wines. It's divided into Northern Rhône, known for Syrah-based reds and white wines from Viognier, Marsanne, and Roussanne, and Southern Rhône, which features blends like Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. Northern Rhône wines, such as Côte-Rôtie and Hermitage, are intense and complex, while Southern Rhône's Châteauneuf-du-Pape is known for powerful, spicy reds. Top producers include E. Guigal, Domaine du Pegau, and Domaine Jean-Louis Chave, exemplifying the region's rich winemaking tradition.
