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: Maturing (champagne)
After riddling, the bottles are stored on "point", upside down, with the neck of one bottle in the bottom of the other. The duration of this maturation is very important: in contact with the dead yeasts, the wine takes on subtle aromas and gains in roundness and fatness. A brut without year must remain at least 15 months in the cellar after bottling, a vintage 36 months.
