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.

2022 Saint-Joseph Rouge “Cuvée 1907”

The nearly 120 years that Bastien Jolivet’s small plot of Syrah vines have spent drawing sustenance deep from the granite soils of Saint-Joseph have left a steely stamp on Jolivet’s Cuvée 1907.

A top site in Condrieu interpreted by one of the appellation’s masters—simply put, one of the greatest expressions of the Viognier grape on earth.

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 “Les Ribaudes”
France | Northern Rhône
A testament to Lionel’s house style, Les Ribaudes is vibrant and juicy with a hint of peppery spice, and earthy minerality imprinted by its granite terroir.

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.

Great winemakers, great terroirs, there is never any hurry. And I no longer buy into this idea of “peak” maturity. Great winemakers, great terroirs, their wines offer different pleasures at different ages.
