Rhône Valley - Saint-Joseph
Ratings
Tasting notes
Appearance:
very deep garnet red.
Nose:
black fruit jam, smoked and mineral overtones.
Palate:
smoky and peppered aromas. Tight tannins with a long persistency in mouth. According to the vintage, the wine can be kept from 30 to 60 years, indeed from 50 to 75 years.
Sommelier's advice:
Fish in tapenade sauce Small game, lamb Cooked pork meats Soft cheeses, goat's cheese
Les Granits red demonstrates excellent maturity, resulting in exceptional concentration with tannins which are still very tight, and inky aromas impregnated with minerality.

Grape variety/varieties:
Syrah. Selection of our oldest Syrah trunks in the birthplace of the Saint Joseph appellation.
Harvest:
The grapes are hand-harvested at a very good maturity.
Soil:
Very poor and very stony granitic soils.
Vinification:
The grapes are 100% destemmed. Slow fermentation in small concrete vats. The process of fermentation is very long and lasts for more than one month, to polymerize tannins. Only the free-run wine is used in this single vineyard.
Ageing:
Entirely aged in casks (new casks and casks having matured wine once or twice before) from 16 to 18 months.
Alcohol content:
14
