Denuzière Saint-Joseph is from 100% Syrah grown on terraces in granitic soil at the northern end of the appellation.

This stony, deeply mineral Syrah balances crisp cassis and black-cherry flavours against a deeply earthen core. It’s opulent in texture but stately, uplifted by tangs of salt, iron and granite.

“I loved the nose on the 2020 Saint Joseph J. Denuzière, which has a Côte Rôtie-like perfume of black raspberries, exotic spice, dried flowers, and bacon fat. Hitting the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, it has ripe, yet building tannins, good overall balance, and a great finish. It’s going to benefit from a few years of bottle age but should have 10-15 years of overall longevity.”
