Decanter: TOP 5 (Best Producers St. Joseph 2018)
J. Livingstone-Learmonth: 5 / 6 Sterne
"2018 NORTHERN WHITES: here we have a triumph. 2018 is a great year for NORTHERN RHÔNE WHITEs made from MARSANNE and ROUSSANNE. They combine deep, rolling gras richness, with lines of clarity and length...
Shiny yellow robe. This has an embracing bouquet, rock n’roll, mixed, jaunty live airs in it, apricot, peach, wax, honey. The palate combines handsome, firm gras with sève of old vines, sap, hence style and a texture that pleases. It has good grip, straightens nicely after a bout of richness. This is very good, right on the money, is very well defined, poised, has salted length. This has class, is Grand Vin. “It was a very hot during the harvest, we picked in the morning, and it has come through as a fresh wine; the East part of Les Oliviers gives freshness from soils and exposure,” Pierre Gonon. 2039-41."

Das Weingut
Zitat J. Livingstone-Learmonth: " An STGT (Soil to Glass Transfer) domaine par excellence, and fantastic value and consistency - these red Saint-Josephs are top notch Syrahs. The Vieilles Vignes red, occasionally produced in small quantities, is exceptional. The Gonon brothers, true countrymen and taught by their father, make delightful, delicious wines of genuine pedigree. There is a sensible transfer of fruit from mature vineyards to the cellar, where methods are calm and watchful. No new oak in sight. The white is a high-class example of Marsanne, laced with a little Roussanne from a top, south-facing vineyard, Les Oliviers. Both red and white can evolve well over 20 years in the good vintages."
