M. Chapoutier Saint-Joseph Les Granilites Rouge 2019/20.
A nice intensity of wild dark berry notes, mineral notes, underscored by lovely smooth oakiness. The palate is soft and well-balanced with a long-lasting finish of those wild dark berry notes.
VINEYARDS: Granite terrain created by the wind and geological alteration resulting in restrictive soils with good drainage. Here we find the principal soil and climatic elements of great Saint-Joseph wines. These slow kinetics of maturation give the “Granilites” wine great freshness and minerality.
WINEMAKING: Temperature controlled fermentation in concrete vats, using indigenous yeasts. 4 weeks maceration was carried out, followed by malolactic fermentation in cask. Maturing is carried out in casks for the first 12 months, and is completed in concrete tanks for 6 months.
ENJOY WITH:
- Grilled and Roasted Red Meats
- Pizza/Pasta
- Casseroles/Stews
- Mild Creamy Cheeses
