TASTING NOTES:

This Saint-Joseph is wonderful. It's fresh, it's herbal and it's got an abundance of black cherry notes on the palate. The vines have an average age of 50 years, making the juice wonderfully concentrated. This gives the bouquet and taste wonderful rich strength. It's ages in oak for 10 months, rounding out the texture and giving it sweet spice on the nose and paate. If you're wanting a rich and elegant fine wine then this is for you.
