Domaine Pierre Gonon St Joseph Rouge 2011 is a full-bodied Syrah red wine from the St Joseph appellation of the Northern Rhône Valley. This St Joseph Rouge is produced by the Gonon brothers, Pierre and Jean, who have earned a reputation for producing some of the most impressive and sought-after wines in the Northern Rhône. They typically exhibit purity of fruit, balanced structure and a distinct sense of place. "The 2011 Saint Joseph from Domaine Gonon is simply outstanding. Pierre observes that `this is not from what one would consider a great vintage, as it was a bit cool in 2011, but the wine is developing very nicely.` I’ll say! This is one of the vintages where the old vine parcels from Monsieur Trollat were blended into the regular bottling, giving the wine truly stunning depth on both the nose and palate. The superb bouquet delivers scents of black raspberries, gamebird, dark soil tones, black olives, still a touch of Syrah’s medicinal overtones and plenty of upper register smokiness. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and beautifully transparent down to its stony soil signature, with a fine core of fruit, outstanding intensity of flavour and complexity and a long, moderately tannic and tangy finish."

The 2011 Saint-Joseph is delicious. Dried red and black fruits emerge from the glass, complemented by leathery shadings, crushed violets, cured meat, forest floor and tobacco. Offering moderate flavor concentration within a medium-bodies frame, the 2011 has evolved beautifully. Totally seamless and so original, the 2011 might not have the structure and density of the 2010, but it delights nonetheless. It should continue to provide pleasure for at least another five years.Nicolas Greinacher28th March 2024
