Saint Joseph Rouge 2021

Aged mostly in used Allier and Nevers barrels for 18-20 months, and bottled unfiltered, the restrained used of new oak, just 10%, coupled with the natural freshness and tension of this year’s release gives us a wonderfully lifted example of St Jo. Expect red cherry and wild berry fruit, pulpy texture and ultra-fine tannins. Classy and yet super drinkable.
