“All Syrah from the oldest vines of the estate that sees a touch of whole clusters, the 2023 Saint Joseph Les Grisières is always a bigger, more structured wine yet holds onto a wonderful sense of finesse. Ripe blackberries, peppery herbs, leather, and violet notes all define the aromatics, and it’s medium to full-bodied, has a concentrated mouthfeel, and a great finish. It’s more Côte Rôtie than your classic Saint Joseph. Give bottles 2-3 years and it will see its 20th birthday in fine form. Don’t miss this. Drink 2028-2045.” 95 JebDunnuck.com Sept 2025

“Notably dark robe; the nose offers a joli rounded blackberry air, black Morello cherry, licorice, has pleasing depth. The palate gives a nice, iron flecked run of black berries, is well together, holds sanded tannins that fit in well, shows some chocolate late on, a thickening of the juice there, little notes of velvet along its path. It’s good, genuine, accumulates on the finish into rather rich length. From 2028. 2045-47 Apr 2025” – 4.5 stars JJL The Rhone Report
