A tasting of the various constituent lieux-dits revealed that the Bachesson parcel had a peppery side and its characteristic rose scent and an unmistakably granitic texture. The Chalaix lieu-dit was precise fine with no huge concentration but good balance. Lieu-dit Dardouille was looking promising with good weight and length. The finished blend of the domaine?s St-Joseph is likely to be neat precise and fresh with a distinct mineral side one to drink relatively young. There will be no separate bottling of Clos Florentin this year due to frost. (Drink between 2023-2030)

Leading off the reds the 2021 Saint Joseph should be solid and I was able to taste multiple different lots that comprise this cuvée. All of the wines have good ripeness quality tannins and the more medium-bodied elegant yet nicely balanced style of the vintage.
