M. Chapoutier Deschants St Joseph 2018

"NOT ENOUGH CAN BE SAID ABOUT THE QUALITY THAT CONSISTENTLY COMES FROM THIS ESTATE." - WINE ADVOCATE

 

"Intense garnet red. Very floral (violet), developing into liquorice and spices. Supple attack with a dominant of red fruits. The finish is long with spices.

The vineyard was originally established in the areas surrounding Tournon: Mauves, Saint-Jean de Muzols et Lemps, “Mauves wines” were highly reputed in the last century even as far as Russia, on the Tsars’ dining table. Two sites had already gained respect at that time. Saint-Joseph hill-side, a parcel of land owned today by maison Chapoutier as well as that of Saint-Épine.

The soil is granitic and slightly acidic, on the right bank of the Rhône on the foothills of the Massif Central. We own the parcel of Saint-Joseph, situated between Mauves and Tournon, which has given its name to the appellation." - Winery
