			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.

								About The Producer
Domaine Monier Perréol
Jean-Pierre Monier is as happy and as grateful a vigneron as one finds. His small production wines certainly have not made him wealthy (far from it), but his effortless calm and quiet conviction give him an enviable air of simplicity. He is the third generation to be farming in Brunieux, a lieu-dit in the hills above the village of St-Désirat in the Northern Rhône. Like his forefathers, wine is only part of his farm’s overall production. Apricot orchards complement the vineyards, and everything is farmed biodynamically. With only five hectares of land, all on high altitude slopes, one might question the interest in working by such stringent standards; for a joyful artisan like Jean-Pierre, purity and authenticity are paramount.
