2023 Saint-Joseph Rouge
Domaine Monier Perréol
A wine with the energy of the great outdoors! Or, as my partner said, “It has a ‘just shot a boar’ kind of vibe.” Flint, bramble, and fruit: the nose is full of supple black cherry and cured olives, with hints of smoked-meat gaminess around the edges. The palate has grip and a pleasantly surprising lick of brightness.

2023 Saint-Joseph Rouge “Châtelet”

Hailing from a single vineyard high up on the hill above Saint-Désirat, at the middle point of the Saint-Joseph appellation, this cuvée dials up the fragrance and elegance of Monier-Pérreol’s Saint-Joseph.
2023 Saint-Joseph Rouge “Terre Blanche”
France | Northern Rhône
Elegant blue and black fruit abound, but here it mingles with a hint of sanguinity and some dusty tannin.

Delicate and perfumed, it speaks softly, yet it has so much to say: lilies, bacon fat, spices... it could only be Côte Rôtie.

France | Northern Rhône
Irresistible notes of black olive, succulent black cherries, and spices

About The Producer
Domaine Monier Perréol
Jean-Pierre Monier is as happy and as grateful a vigneron as one finds. His small production wines certainly have not made him wealthy (far from it), but his effortless calm and quiet conviction give him an enviable air of simplicity. He is the third generation to be farming in Brunieux, a lieu-dit in the hills above the village of St-Désirat in the Northern Rhône. Like his forefathers, wine is only part of his farm’s overall production. Apricot orchards complement the vineyards, and everything is farmed biodynamically. With only five hectares of land, all on high altitude slopes, one might question the interest in working by such stringent standards; for a joyful artisan like Jean-Pierre, purity and authenticity are paramount.
