“From a tiny hectare of relatively young vines outside of Mauves and aged 16 months in 400-liter oak barrels with no new oak, the 2024 Saint Joseph Les Côtes has a darker, more classic style compared to the lifted, exotic 2023, yet still has an incredibly floral character. Ripe plums, blueberries, violets, candied orange, and incense all shine here, and it's medium-bodied, with a supple, nicely balanced mouthfeel and a good finish.”
