Presse / Kritik
Bettane & Desseauve: 95 / 100 Punkte
"Eine tiefe Nase eines sonnigen Jahrgangs, kräftig und aufdringlich im Glas. Der Mund beginnt mit einem noch jungen, festen, etwas engmaschigen Tannin, das allmählich an Saft und Fleisch gewinnt, ein Wein der Zukunft, der sich langsam in der Flasche absetzen wird, kraftvoll und salzig im Abgang. Auf Kraft gebaut."
Wein Plus: 94 / 100 Punkte
"Tiefer und dichter, vielschichtiger, nussiger, hefiger und tabakiger Duft nach sehr reifen schwarzen Beeren mit Kirscharomen, Wacholder, Pfeffer und mediterranen Kräutern sowie noblen bitterschokoladigen Nuancen. Straffe, tiefe und konzentrierte, sehr geschliffene, reife dunkle Frucht, jugendliches, präsentes, dabei sehr feines, reifes Tannin, Pfeffer, ein wenig Rauch und Speck, angedeutet Wacholder und wieder mediterrane Kräuter, hat bei aller Kraft Frische, Schliff und gewisse Kühle, mineralische Noten im Hintergrund, sehr guter bis langer, straffer, frischer, saftiger und feinwürziger Abgang. Trinkempfehlung: 2025-2035+"
J. Livingstone-Learmonth: 4,5 / 6 Sterne
"Very dark robe; the nose is ripe, well and fully charged, centres on layered black fruits, some hidden depths, mystery, buffed leather, resounding cassis fruit. The palate is inky and thorough, holds concerted black fruits with lasting depth, piled up tannins that are really formidable, ripe and multi-layered. There are cool tones within, so it’s not too sunswept. It persists with some herbal thrust, needs time, waiting for around five-six years. It’s big, assertive St Jo, carries a good country nature over being too polished, its heart beating deeply. From 2025 – a pity to tap into it earlier. 2044-46."

"Gonon's 2019 Saint Joseph retains the typical floral signature on the nose, but it is more dark-fruited than usual, with notes of black cherries, blackberries and even black olives. It's medium to full-bodied, the first vintage recorded over 14% alcohol, according to Jean Gonon (14.2%). Concentrated, rich and velvety in feel, it boasts a long, gently chewy finish and should age well. Best after 2025."
J. Dunnuck: 96 / 100 Punkte
"Moving to the flagship, the 2019 Saint Joseph got a big “wow” in my notes, and this is the finest wine I’ve tasted from these hard-working brothers. Awesome red and black fruits, ground pepper, and hints of game and meatiness all emerge from the glass, and it’s medium to full-bodied on the palate, with perfect balance, silky tannins, and one heck of a finish. This brilliant Saint Joseph is one of the top wines in the appellation and can be enjoyed any time over the coming 15 years."

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."
