2018 Saint-Joseph Rouge “Terre Blanche”

Domaine Monier Perréol
Discount Eligible $62.00
SOLD OUT

In contrast to the silky harmony of the Saint-Joseph bottling above, “Terre Blanche” is a
bit gnarlier. Give it some time to open up and reveal the meaty, animal tendencies of Syrah from these parts. Don’t get me wrong, elegant blue and black fruit abound, but here it mingles with a hint of sanguinity and some dusty tannin. A great choice for short- to medium-term cellaring. 

Anthony Lynch

Kermit inspecting wine barrels

For the wines that I buy I insist that the winemaker leave them whole, intact. I go into the cellars now and select specific barrels or cuvées, and I request that they be bottled without stripping them with filters or other devices. This means that many of our wines will arrive with a smudge of sediment and will throw a more important deposit as time goes by, It also means the wine will taste better.
