Score: Robert Parker 87-89/100
"The 2012 Saint-Joseph is another delicious wine from this producer. Leather, red and black fruits, crushed stone burst from the glass. This solid, gorgeous, medium-bodied bottle is juicy and fresh, well-balanced and long on the palate. Drink within its first 5-7 years, or more." (Wine Advocate Dec. 2013 - Robert Parker). Complex, with mellow tannins, this wine is powerful and racyly elegant!

Domaine noté (guide 2014) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).

About the domain :

"This young trading house is the result of a partnership between the Perrin family (of Château de Beaucastel in Châteauneuf-du-Pape) and Nicolas Jaboulet (ex-director of the family firm Paul Jaboulet et Fils). Two great names from the south and north of the valley, bringing out a small collection of crus from the north. The wines are selected in barrel before malolactic fermentation at the winemakers', and then aged at Perrin, near Orange. Blending then follows. The style of the whites is precise, dry, square, with a good intermediate level. To date, we prefer the brightness and density of the reds.
