Guigal Saint Joseph Rouge Lieu Dit 2023

$92.99
Guigal’s Saint-Joseph Lieu Dit Rouge comes from the “Saint-Joseph” vineyard that gave the appellation its name. This site convinced the Guigals to work in Saint-Joseph and help to restore its historic perception as an appellation of utmost quality. This 100% Syrah wine has complex and deep black fruit, floral, spice and mineral characteristics. Despite its concentration and powerful attack, the wine retains the trademark elegance that Saint-Joseph offers.

All Syrah from a single lieu-dit and brought up in 50% new French oak, the 2023 Saint Joseph Lieu-Dit Saint Joseph is brilliant, showing exceptional purity in its cassis, graphite, pepper, and violet aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied, seamless, and impeccably balanced, it has integrated oak, fine tannins, and a finish that won't quit. It's going to benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and drink brilliantly for a decade. (95-97)
