“The bouquet has an oily intensity, is well together, centres on smoky blue fruit, delves in and carries mystery for now. The palate links closely, via an immediate run of shapely black fruited content, a little local rockiness well etched into it, with a flourish of fruit on the finish. It’s a vivid and genuine St Jo, plenty of bounce and character, rocks really well. It’s moving into shape – from late-2024.” John Livingstone Learmonth, Drink Rhône Read more

Tasting Notes
This is drawn from two parcels on the steep, granitic slopes of Saint-Jean-de-Muzols, the historic heart of Saint-Joseph that lies opposite the hill of Hermitage. Three-quarters of the blend comes from 1980s planted Syrah, while the remainder of the vines were planted in the 1950s. Both parcels are organically farmed without herbicides by the Desbos family, and both lie on steep gradients that necessitate work by hand and horse only. In the cellar, the winemakers work with around 20 to 30% whole bunches, and the wine matures for one year in used ex-Burgundy 228-litre oak casks for 11 months, followed by six months in tronconique. Bottled unfiltered, it’s a layered, deep, rocky style of St-Jo, with taut red and blue fruits complemented by crushed stone, dried dark flowers and iron filing nuances.
