Domaine des Pierres Sèches Saint-Joseph Rouge 2022
A stunning Saint-Joseph that captures the heart and soul of this appellation — indeed, it hails from villages that make up the southern part of Saint-Joseph, its original borders, where fruit is riper, earthy and very profound.
Winemaker Sylvain Gauthier selects fruit from mostly older vines for this gem of a northern Syrah.
