E. Guigal Saint-Joseph Lieu-Dit Rouge 2017 (93 VM)
“Inky magenta. Heady, mineral- and oak-tinged blue fruit, potpourri, cola and olive aromas are given a spicy edge by a hint of cracked pepper. Impressively concentrated yet vibrant in character, offering sweet, palate-staining boysenberry, floral and spicecake flavors that pick up a smoky nuance on the back half. Shows sharp delineation and mineral cut on the impressively long finish, which is framed by supple, harmonious tannins.”

A result of its quality, Guigal’s Saint-Joseph Lieu Dit Rouge comes from the “Saint-Joseph” vineyard that gives the appellation its name. This site convinced the Guigals to work in Saint-Joseph and help to restore the historic perception of Saint-Joseph as an appellation of utmost quality. The 100% Syrah wine has complex and deep black fruit, floral, spice and mineral characteristics. Despite its concentration and powerful attack, the wine retains the trademark elegance that Saint-Joseph offers.
