VERY LIMITED
Varietal: Syrah
94 Points Decanter
A tasting of the four main parts (Les Challaix Le Clos La Dardouille and Bachasson) suggests that this will be a vintage that combines power ? black fruits and thick tannins from La Dardouille ? and more lifted fleshy fragrant low acid elements from Les Challaix plus Bachasson's rose and raspberry. A little richer and more velvety than a typical year. (Drink between 2023-2031)
92- 94 Points Jeb Dunnuck
Leading off the 2022s, gorgeous red and black fruits, spice, pepper, and bouquet garni define the 2022 Saint Joseph. Very focused and layered on the palate, it shows medium to full-bodied richness and elegant tannins. It's very much in the sunny yet structured style of the vintage and will have 10-12 years of prime drinking.
93 Points Vinous
The 2022 Saint-Joseph is medium-bodied and savory, with delicate notes of red plum, crushed violets, licorice, graphite and a hint of dried meat. Layers of black olive and white pepper add depth and complexity. Smooth tannins provide gentle structure, leading to a persistent and elegant finish.
92 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Notes of violet, chocolate, iris and flowers emerge from the 2022 Saint-Joseph, a medium to full-bodied, sweet and sappy wine with a concentrated, structured palate framed by an assertive tannic frame, culminating in a long, introverted finish. It derives from vines planted on gneiss and granite soils.-" -Robert Parker's
