Saint-Joseph

From 25 year old vines on south-easterly facing slopes outside Chavanay, this is a wine not to be overlooked. Deep, dark chocolatey, black fruit aromas. This is a full and concentrated style, a wine which really fills the mouth with lovely wild cherry flavours. Beautifully intense with tightly integrated tannins, it has a soft freshness on the finish. Traditional and entirely manual methods are used to cultivate the vines. No systematic treatment, pesticides are used with moderation and only as and when required. In stainless steel vats between 15 days and 3 weeks with temperature control. 2 months in barrels in an air-conditioned wine storehouse. Temperature and hygrometry control. ABV 13%
