2023 Vin de France Rouge “Cuvée de Louis”

Domaine Jolivet
Discount Eligible $28.00
SOLD OUT

Joining the ranks of celebrated Saint-Joseph domaines that have graced our shelves—Gonon, Trollat, Faury (to name a few)—is the young Bastien Jolivet. The bit of Vin de France he makes comes from a granite site of old-vine Syrah at the top of a steep hillside. Partially vinified with whole bunches, it’s then raised in neutral oak to allow its pure fruit qualities to shine. In the vineyard, work is done organically, and always by hand. Bastien is a vigneron through and through, preferring to toil in his vines more than anything else. The investment pays off in this fresh, stony, country-style rouge that’s not to be missed.

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.
