Jean-François Malsert isn’t interested in polished, modern Syrah—his wines feel raw, energetic, and deeply tied to the steep, granite slopes of Saint-Joseph. Working with organic and biodynamic practices, he farms by hand, vinifies with native yeasts, and avoids heavy oak influence, allowing the rugged beauty of the terroir to take center stage. His 2021 Saint-Joseph is a wine of tension and authenticity, a throwback to the soulful, structured Syrahs that defined the region before Parkerized ripeness and new oak took over.

This is Saint-Joseph in its most unfiltered form—gritty, spicy, and alive with savory depth. Malsert’s whole-cluster approach and minimal extraction give the wine a lifted, floral edge, while the cool 2021 vintage adds even more brightness and energy. There’s a wildness here, a sense that the wine is still evolving in the glass, shifting between dark fruit, crushed violets, smoky herbs, and granite-infused minerality.

This isn’t a Syrah that begs for a decanter and a steak—it’s just as thrilling with rustic French country fare, roasted root vegetables, or even a simple hunk of aged cheese. Give it time to breathe, or stash a few bottles away to let its earthy, old-school side develop even further.

Viticulture
Organically farmed. Steep terrain, light working of the soils by winch as well as grass mowing 3-4 times per year.
Vinification
40% destemmed, 60% whole cluster. 2 week fermentation in stainless steel, remontage for one week followed by light pigeage 1x per day for the other week. The idea is to achieve elegant tannins and not too much extraction.
