2023 Saint-Joseph Rouge “Terre Blanche”
Domaine Monier Perréol
In contrast to the silky harmony of the Saint-Joseph bottling, “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.

Living wines have ups and downs just as people do, periods of glory and dog days, too. If wine did not remind me of real life, I would not care about it so much.
