Pierre Gonon / Saint-Joseph Rouge 2021
Country of Origin: France
Region: Northern Rhône Valley
<Varieties>
Syrah 100%
<Details/Technical Facts>
Large open fermentation tanks are used, with some of the wine removed. During fermentation and maceration, remontage and pigeage are performed twice a day for three weeks. The wine is then transferred to large barrels for 12-14 months of ageing, before being bottled without filtration.
<<Tasting>>
Very tannic when young, but with a few years of aging the tannins smooth out and the aromas become more complex. This is a classic Saint-Joseph with silky tannins, a soft and open flavor, and aromas of prune.
