NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This wine is a remarkable expression of the Saint-Joseph appellation.Domaine Pierre Gonon is known for producing exceptional wines, and Les Oliviers is no exception.
On the nose, this wine offers a complex bouquet of dark fruits, such as blackberries and plums, accompanied by hints of black pepper and earthy undertones. The aromas are intense and inviting, promising a rich and satisfying experience.
The palate is equally impressive, with a full-bodied and velvety texture that coats the mouth. The flavors of ripe black fruits continue to dominate, complemented by notes of licorice, tobacco, and a touch of smokiness. The tannins are well-integrated, providing structure and balance to the wine.
The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lasting impression of dark fruit flavors and a subtle spiciness. This wine has great aging potential and will continue to evolve and develop over the years.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine Pierre Gonon
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
