2024 Vin de France Rouge “Cuvée de Louis”

Domaine Jolivet
Discount Eligible $28.00
AT CART MAX

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.

Sampling wine out of the barrel.

When buying red Burgundy, I think we should remember:

1. Big wines do not age better than light wine.
2. A so-called great vintage at the outset does not guarantee a great vintage for the duration.
3. A so-called off vintage at the outset does not mean the wines do not have a brilliant future ahead of them.
4. Red Burgundy should not taste like Guigal Côte-Rôtie, even if most wine writers wish it would.
5. Don’t follow leaders; watch yer parking meters.
