Domaine de Gouye Saint-Joseph Vieilles Vignes, Rhone, France 2021 Wagram Lucky escapeWinemaker Philippe Desbos selects fruit from his oldest Syrah vines, some as old as 100 years, for this special cuve. The estate's same non interventionist approach applies: fruit crushed gently by foot, very little added sulfur, aged in neutral barrels. Aromas of summer bramble fruit, light white pepper, licorice, warm earth. Full bodied yet refined, suave tannins; red and black raspberries, boysenberry, baking spices.
