Robert Parker
Rating: Robert Parker 87–89/100
“The 2012 Saint-Joseph is another delightful wine from this producer. Leather, red and black fruits, and crushed stone burst from the glass. This solid, magnificent, medium-bodied wine is juicy and fresh, well-balanced, and has a long finish. Drink within its first 5 to 7 years, or longer. ” (Wine Advocate Dec. 2013 – Robert Parker). Complex, with integrated tannins, this wine is powerful and possesses a refined elegance!

About the wine:
The 2012 Saint-Joseph is another delicious wine from this producer. Aromas of leather, red and black fruits, and crushed stone burst from the glass. This robust and magnificent medium-bodied wine is juicy and fresh, well-balanced, and has a long finish. Best enjoyed within its first 5 to 7 years, or longer.

About the estate:
“This very young wine merchant was founded through a partnership between the Perrin family (of Château de Beaucastel in Châteauneuf-du-Pape) and Nicolas Jaboulet (former director of the family-owned Paul Jaboulet et Fils). These two heavyweights from the southern and northern parts of the valley have launched a small collection of wines from the north. The wines are selected from the barrels before malolactic fermentation at the growers’ estates; aging is then completed at Perrin, near Orange. This is followed by blending. The whites are precise, dry, and well-structured, offering a solid mid-range quality. To date, we prefer the vibrancy and depth of the reds.”
