ABOUT THIS WINE
Domaine Monier-Perréol's Saint-Joseph Rouge 2022 is a 100% Syrah from the Northern Rhône's Saint-Joseph AOC. The estate is a family-run operation with a strong commitment to organic and biodynamic viticulture, a philosophy passed down through generations. This dedication to natural farming and minimal intervention winemaking sets their wines apart, aiming for a pure expression of the Syrah grape. The vineyards are located around Brunieux, with vines ranging from 20 to 40 years old, and some parcels are cultivated using horse-drawn plows due to their challenging terrain.
