L'instinct captures what makes northern Rhône Syrah so compelling: the electric tension between dark fruit and mineral drive that granite soils impart. Domaine Jolivet farms steep terraced vineyards in Saint-Joseph, where whole-cluster fermentation and judicious oak let the Syrah speak for itself. The 2022 shows blackberry, cracked pepper, and violet aromatics with a smoky, saline finish—classic northern Rhône character. This drinks beautifully now but will evolve gracefully over the next 5-7 years. Serve slightly cool with grilled meats or rich vegetable dishes.

More about Jolivet

Pascal Jolivet built a 70-hectare empire in Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé since 1987, proving that terroir-focused Sauvignon Blanc can be both elegant and expressive. The wines are crisp, mineral, built on limestone and shale—exactly what these soil types demand. Frederick Wildman & Sons has championed his work in America. These are wines that cut through fat and make you want another glass. Loire's modern masterclass in what Sauvignon Blanc can achieve when a winemaker cares about place.
