Vignobles Chirat La Côte St-Joseph 2020 is the flagship wine of the Chirat domaine, produced from old-vine Syrah from the north of the St-Joseph appellation. Fermented with 25% whole bunches, the wine is matured for 12 months in 500l French oak barrels and 25hl Austrian foudre. Loaded with ripe dark berry fruit, sweet liquorice, bacon and baking spices, this young Syrah is impeccably balanced with well-integrated oak and fine-grained tannins.

Vinous
Deep, bright-rimmed ruby. Lively, spice-accented blueberry, cherry and licorice aromas are complicated by floral and smoky bacon flourishes. Round and gently sweet, offering concentrated red and blue fruit preserve, salty olive and floral pastille flavors and a strong jolt of cracked pepper. Finishes sappy and quite long, with subtle tannins and an echo of dark berry liqueur. 20% whole clusters and 20% new oak. Prior to the 2020 vintage, this bottling was called "Les Côtes".Josh Raynolds22nd December 2022
