The wine region of Saint-Joseph
Northern Rhône cru on the right bank (Ardèche, Loire): signature Syrah as the exclusive king red - refined and structured with notes of black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry), raspberry, violet, pepper, spices, liquorice and an undergrowth touch, softer tannins than Cornas or Hermitage, seductive fruit-structure balance. Marsanne and Roussanne in ample whites (peach, apricot, honey, white flowers). AOC (1956) over 26 communes, south-facing slopes, granite, schist and gneiss. Ageing 3-10 years.
The wine region of Rhone Valley
France's 2nd-largest AOC vineyard, two complementary worlds. Northern: pure Syrah in signature reds (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas), deep and peppery with blackberry, violet, black olive and smoked bacon notes, exceptional ageing. Opulent Viognier whites (Condrieu, apricot, flowers) and ample Marsanne-Roussanne. Southern: sun-soaked Grenache blends at Châteauneuf, Gigondas, Vacqueyras (candied fruit, garrigue).
The word of the wine: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
