E. Guigal Saint-Joseph 'Cuvee Lieu-Dit Saint-Joseph', 2020

STORY BEHIND THIS WINE

Etienne Guigal is synonymous with excellence in the Northern Rhone where his Côte Roties’ are legendary and priced accordingly. We are particularly taken by this Saint-Joseph « Lieu-dit » which is produced from the Saint-Joseph registered vines which originally lent their name to the appellation. We believe the wine clearly demonstrates the dizzy heights good Syrah can achieve. Time will be a good ally to this wine.

OUR IMPRESSION

The heady oak spice is matched every step of the way with intense black fruit with a jammy but still fresh style. Long, intense, finely tannic, fresh acidity. The oak remains a major feature, but such is the quality of the flavours, you cant help admiring it.
