Benchmark Saint-Joseph from one of the Northern Rhône's most beloved family domaines, in its lightest and most perfumed guise. Pierre and Jean Gonon farm steep, granite slopes in Mauves, the historic heart of the appellation directly across from the Hermitage hill, with which they share the same granitic bedrock. They farm organically (no chemicals since 2004; later certified), harvest by hand, and ferment whole-ish clusters with native yeasts in the traditional way, producing Syrah of remarkable purity and finesse rather than brute power. A wet, cool July and August in 2014 plus heavy pressure from the drosophila fruit fly meant ruthless sorting, but a fine September saved the vintage and the wines came out lower in alcohol, fresh and strikingly aromatic. At twelve years the 2014 is wide open — floral, peppery and light on its feet, with no tannin left to wait out. From a private cellar; a Gonon to drink this year, and one that takes a slight chill happily.

Antonio Galloni

93 points

"Opaque ruby. Highly expressive aromas of candied red and blue fruit, along with suggestions of exotic flowers, olive paste and smoky minerals. Sweet, penetrating and seamless on the palate, offering intense black raspberry, blueberry and floral pastille flavors that become deeper and fleshier with air. Pure and sharply focused, finishing with outstanding clarity, sneaky, well-knit tannins and a lingering violet quality." —Josh Raynolds

Robert Parker

90 points

"The 2014 Saint Joseph features some herbal and green olive aromas. It’s frankly not that fruity and is wiry in build, but it still gives plenty of pleasure. It offers complexity, balance and elegance rather than ripeness and power." —Joe Czerwinski
