Presse / Kritik
J. Livingstone-Learmonth: 5/6 Sterne
"Pretty full red, legs visible. There is a ripe Syrah depth on the nose, black fruit that is still enclosed, shrouded by its youth, gives a suggestion of dried herbs de Provence, thyme. It breathes minerality, is a bouquet with “sparkle”. There is an intricate weave of black fruit, crisp, uplifting tannin, and a very beau length. This is very fine, very cool for a 2009; its tannins are on licorice, and it is on the cusp between being direct and ripe. There are tight, mineral late moments. Air brings a blood intensity. This is authentic, STGT naturally presented Saint-Joseph, a maximum child of the granite. It leaves the imagination fertile, with its possibilities. Much intricacy here. 2034-36"

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."
