Presse / Kritik
J. Livingstone-Learmonth: 4,5 / 6 Sterne (einer der TOP 6 Weine im St. Joseph blanc 2021)
"Shiny, inviting yellow robe, the bouquet is alert on the outside, ripe on the inside with a peach, flan, apricot aroma, variety to come. The palate holds stylish gras, sustains and holds well, gives a good line of spearmint late on, is a good mix of gras richness and freshness, a return to the 1980s, has great clarity, an effortless tone, with very joli silk, is floral and delicate. There’s a discreet nutty tone on the close. “It was a year of diluted grapes, but it was ripe, finally – you had to harvest late, patiently – we picked this on 24, 25 and 27 September,” Jean Gonon. 2037-39"
Decanter: 93 / 100 Punkte
"A lovely light and floral style on the nose, and on the palate it’s only medium-bodied this year, not as rich as a typical vintage, and much higher in acidity. Vibrant and zesty. Fermented in fûts and old barriques, this spends a year on the lees. Drinking window: 2023 - 2028"

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."
