Domaine Garon - Saint-Joseph Agricola rouge 2023
92/100
RVF
"A rich and subtle Saint-Joseph"
A Saint-Joseph worthy of the great Côte-Rôtie wines! The nose reveals the floral and fruity character of Syrah grapes from the northern Rhône, supported by lovely spices. The palate is velvety and round, with pleasant, generous tannins. A long finish that invites further tasting. A wine to be enjoyed between 1 and 5 years after bottling.

Bettane & Desseauve
Winery rated 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, consistent with what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
This estate has some lovely vineyards in the Côte Blonde area, including one on Le Goutay, near their home, but their best wine comes from Les Rochains, on the schist soils near La Landonne. Production still lacks consistency, but the style is authentic, with the hallmark of whole bunch fermentation. The 2017 vintage showed great promise this year.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 92/100
Rated estate (2024 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good-quality wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
The Garon wines showcase the diversity of the Côte-Rôtie terroirs. We are impressed by the style of the estate's wines, which are distinguished by their fine texture. The fruit is precise, and the aging process intensifies depending on the terroirs and their ability to manage the wood. Among the different vintages, La Sybarine evokes the expression of granitic soils; Les Triotes, located on the Côte Blonde, next to Lancement, comes from schist; Les Rochins is born on the brown schist of the Côte Brune.
