Presse / Kritik
Wine Advocate: 96 / 100 Punkte
"The 2022 Saint-Joseph from Pierre Gonon is a beauty. Despite a slightly introverted bouquet, it is bursting with aromas of cherries, black olive, violet, dark berries and blueberry. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and layered with a textural attack, it's pure with a fleshy core of fruit framed by supple tannins and a refreshing perfumed mid-palate that culminates in an ethereal, long and delicately floral finish. Despite a dry vintage, this refined, precise wine is full of freshness. It will require patience (10 to 15 years). Kudos! Drink 2029-2044."
Decanter: 94 / 100 Punkte (TOP scoring St. Joseph 2022)
"Relatively light in body for this cuvée, with very fine tannins for the vintage and good acidity. Nice sense of vibrancy, but perhaps not as deep or long as the finest vintages of Gonon's St-Joseph. Enjoyably crisp structure, however, and a lightly mineral finish. There's a possibility this might close down for a period, so drink young or wait until 2030. Drinking window: 2024-2036"
Vinous: 94 / 100 Punkte
"The 2022 Saint-Joseph is medium-bodied, showcasing ripe red plum, orange rind, graphite, violet and a hint of licorice on the nose. Framed by ripe, polished tannins, the serious 2022 delivers ample energy and tension on the savory palate. This is best enjoyed after four years of cellaring. Drink 2029-2040."
J. Livingstone-Learmonth: 4,5 / 6 Sterne (Leading St. Joseph 2022)
"Dark red; there are a few sun rays in a nose that is inclined to be expressive immediately after the opening of the bottle, has an aroma of iron-mineral infused dark red fruits, inner persistence, The palate attacks on richness, an early display of that, holds in the middle, is furnished, more Southern than the 2023 and 2024, its shape quite square. It bundles together herbs and rocky crunch on the finish, which is out on its own for now. Do not touch it for the time being – it’s a keeping wine, try it from 2028. 2044-46"
J. Dunnuck: 93 / 100 Punkte
"Black and red fruits, licorice, graphite, dried herbs, and chocolate notes all define the 2022 Saint Joseph. Medium to full-bodied and beautifully balanced, it offers plenty of ripe tannins and impressive concentration while staying elegant and fresh. This age-worthy Saint Joseph will benefit from short-term cellaring. Drink 2027-2042."

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."
