Saint-Joseph Saint-Etienne

This Saint-Joseph will pair nicely with grilled or roasted meats, small game or dark chocolate fondant.

After a warm and hot summer, some rainy periods enabled the grapes to achieve the ideal maturity. During the harvest, the wind regulated the excessive temperatures, preserving the aromas of the grapes. This ideal weather and healthy conditions make the 2015 vintage one of the most qualitative in recent years. The Northern vineyards have produced very concentrated Syrahs, with very pure aromas and phenomenal depth. We are facing a very great vintage.

Matured in vats for 10 months before bottling.

Sorting at the reception. Destemming and crushing. Fermentation of about 3 weeks. Racking and malolactic fermentation.

Delicious and savoury from day one: this is the commitment of our Gabriel Meffre signature wines. For each appellation and in keeping with the characteristics of the vintage our know-how is recognisable through our experienced blending of terroirs and grape varieties and through our careful maturing favouring purity of fruit and silkyness of texture. Already enjoyable in their first year after bottling the Crus also have good aging potential.
