Domaine Roland Grangier - Saint-Joseph - Côte Granits - Rouge - 2021

Wine:

From the best slopes of Chavanay, the 2021 red Saint-Joseph Côte Granits delivers beautiful aromas of black fruits, notably wild blackberry, with smoky touches that indicate the presence of the barrel aging, that are never dominant or insistent. The palate follows the same pattern, with elegance and restraint: we find the spirit of Saint-Joseph, with a full-bodied texture, present tannins without excess, and above all, a beautiful freshness. A wine worth waiting for, at least until the delicate end of the year, and which will be appreciated over 5 years and more.

Vinification:

Hand harvested, totally de-stemmed, vatted for 3 weeks in thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks, regular pumping over, aged for 18 months in oak barrels.

Color:

Intense red, deep and brilliant, with purplish reflections.

Nose:

Quintessential black fruits, wild blackberries, mixed with smoky notes and a touch of blond wood.

Palate:

Fresh and full-bodied, this wine with present but discreet tannins releases a juice of great elegance

Temperature:

Serve between 16 and 18°C.

Food and wine pairing:

Prime rib, thick pork chop with juice.

Cellar aging:

Within 6 months and until 2028, and even more for enthusiasts.
