Product notes

This Saint-Joseph takes the name of the locality where it is grown: Les Côtes. The entire domain is cultivated using organic and biodynamic viticulture. Syrah replanted from 1999. Hand-picked harvests. About 10% whole grape bunches. Maturation in 400-litre barrels for 16 months, with no new barrels.

Tasting notes

"A seductive nose of rose, pine resin and incense, very unusual. Crisp and marked by red fruits on the palate, with dynamic raspberry acidity. Evokes a Côte-Rôtie from the côte blonde. Then rather light on the palate, with fruit and tannins. The oak is quite frank. An unusual and interesting. From a parcel near Mauves, a steep granite slope. No new wood." Matt Walls, Decanter
