A tasting of the various constituent lieux-dits revealed that the Bachesson parcel had a peppery side and its characteristic rose scent, and an unmistakably granitic texture. The Chalaix lieu-dit was precise, fine, with no huge concentration but good balance. Lieu-dit Dardouille was looking promising, with good weight and length. The finished blend of the domaine’s St-Joseph is likely to be neat, precise and fresh, with a distinct mineral side, one to drink relatively young. There will be no separate bottling of Clos Florentin this year due to frost.

Leading off the reds, the 2021 Saint Joseph should be solid, and I was able to taste multiple different lots that comprise this cuvée. All of the wines have good ripeness, quality tannins, and the more medium-bodied, elegant, yet nicely balanced style of the vintage.
