Chapoutier Saint-Joseph Les Granits is a perfect choice for those who appreciate a complex and elegant wine with a long finish.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Saint-Joseph from M. Chapoutier is a wonderfully balanced and complex wine, offering aromas of red berries, licorice and spice, complemented by a hint of smokiness.On the palate, smooth tannins and a juicy acidity provide a contrast to the rich fruit and herbal flavors, while a hint of minerality adds an intriguing layer of complexity. The finish is long and lingering, with hints of spice and smoke. Enjoy now or cellar for a few more years to fully appreciate its complexity.

ORIGINS
Winery: M. Chapoutier
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
