Granite-grown Northern Rhône Syrah from a grower who only started bottling his own wine in 2014. Bastien Jolivet pulled his family's vines out of the local cooperative that year, after stints working harvests in South Africa and New Zealand, and has been building a reputation in Saint-Joseph ever since — he came through the shop to pour for us not long after the wines landed here. His vineyards sit on steep granite terraces around Saint-Jean-de-Muzols in the northern end of the appellation, some of them planted in the 1960s, farmed organically though not certified. L'Instinct blends nine separate plots, fermented with roughly 40% whole clusters in ripe years and raised twelve months in demi-muids with only a token amount of new wood. 2019 was a hot, dry season in the Northern Rhône that gave small yields and concentrated Syrah without losing the granite cut. Serve it slightly cool.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Grilled lamb, steak with cracked pepper, duck confit, sausages with lentils, or roasted eggplant and mushrooms. Charred, peppery, savory food is the target.

Tasting Profile

Blackberry, cracked black pepper, violet and cured meat with a smoky, saline mineral edge. Medium to full-bodied with fresh acidity and fine, slightly meaty tannins, finishing long and savory.
