"Dark colour. This has an ample air of black cherries, is layered, not open, still dense, a mass over detail; there’s a definite curve of ripeness, and a touch of smoky bacon. The palate is juicy and abundant – this is generous, appealing via its suave, glistening texture, swirl of mixed fruits, perhaps like a young 2006. It gains good tannins with a good breakdown of the suavity from tannins and stems towards the finish, a good landscape from that. There are fine black fruits on the aftertaste. This is jolly good! Lots of charm to come – it will show a good, steady evolution, without a lot of closing down. From spring 2020. 2033-34"

"Looking even better than it did from barrel, the 2016 Saint Joseph was singing last summer when I tasted it at the domaine. Truffle-like earthy florals accent peppery herbs, blending seamlessly with olives and raspberries on the nose. The palate is medium to full-bodied, rich and velvety, voluptuous even, yet balanced and vibrant, with a long, mouthwatering finish."

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."
