Les Nuelles

Red wine | Saint Joseph Rouge AOC

A Syrah that asserts itself without detours!
This Saint-Joseph red has a dark color, complex aromas of blackberry and blackcurrant, vanilla and spices. Supple and dense, the material is framed by beautiful firm tannins and carried by a beautiful freshness. The “Les Nuelles” plot is planted with 50-year-old vines, which express themselves with a quiet strength and an authenticity that is entirely admirable. A red wine that goes very well with slowly simmered dishes, like coq au vin!
