Guigal’s Saint-Joseph Lieu Dit Rouge comes from the “Saint-Joseph” vineyard that gave the appellation its name. This site convinced the Guigals to work in Saint-Joseph and help to restore its historic perception as an appellation of utmost quality. This 100% Syrah wine has complex and deep black fruit, floral, spice and mineral characteristics. Despite its concentration and powerful attack, the wine retains the trademark elegance that Saint-Joseph offers. Pure and intense aromas of black fruit with delicate notes of oak lead into a fresh, powerful attack. This wine becomes more refined with age.
"The 2022 Saint Joseph Lieu-Dit is killer stuff, offering up violets intermixed with red, blue, and black fruits, game, and spice. Made from 100% Syrah and aged 24 months in 50% new French oak, it's full-bodied and beautifully textured on the palate, with silky tannins and integrated oak." Jeb Dunnuck 95
