Produced by Domaine Pierre Gonon, this red Saint-Joseph hails from 3 hectares of 80-year-old vines. The grapes undergo a partial destemming, ranging up to 20% depending on the vintage. Following a gentle crushing, fermentation occurs in large open vats before the wine is transferred to sizable oak barrels for ageing, a process lasting up to 16 months. With a deep ruby-red hue, it presents a complex nose featuring dark fruits such as blackberry and black cherry, accompanied by nuances of violets, black pepper, and spices. The palate showcases density and structure, revealing layers of liquorice spice and savoury black olive tapenade.
The 2021 Saint-Joseph used roughly 50% whole-clusters during fermentation. In comparison, 2022 saw 85% inclusion, while in 2017, no destemming was applied. Coming in at 12.5% alcohol, the deep purple-hued 2021 unfurls with pretty red fruits paired with leafy undertones and cedar. Orange blossom and rose petal add welcome floral lift. Light to medium in body, this is a delicate Gonon, neatly framed by velvety tannins and bright acidity. It should drink well right out of the gate. Tasted twice with consistent notes.
