The Guigal Saint-Joseph Rouge appears a dark red color with violet tints in the glass. The wine leads with a powerful nose dominated by red berries and delicate oak aromas. The palate reveals a powerful attack with round and supple tannins.
Enjoy with red meat and cheese.
Filled with red fruit aromas and elegant tannins, this wine is a fine expression of this up-and-coming appellation from the northern Rhône.
100% Syrah from vines averaging 20 to 50 years of age. The vines are mainly situated in the communes of Tournon and Sarras. Aged around 16 months in second wine oak barrels.
Fresh aromas of concentrated red fruit framed by licorice and blackberries, followed by a brambly layer fill the glass. Brooding dark fruit generously coats the palate, balanced by its refreshing cut of acidity. Approachable now, but best to cellar well through 2028+ before revisiting. -A.C.C.
Black cherries, some loam-like earthy notes and a hint of smoked meat mark the nose of Guigal's 2019 Saint-Joseph. Showing a bit more complexity now than it did prior to bottling, it's medium to full-bodied, smooth and silky, ready to drink yet capable of holding for up to a decade post-vintage. Anticipated Maturity: 2024-2030
