Chapoutier St-Joseph Le Clos Rouge 2016

M. Chapoutier is one of the Rhône's great biodynamic houses, famed for its single-vineyard 'Sélections Parcellaires'. A Saint-Joseph Syrah of real terroir expression.

Tasting note (Wine Advocate): “Looking even better than it did last year, now that it’s in the bottle, Chapoutier’s 2016 Saint-Joseph Le Clos is impressive indeed. Classy notes of crushed stone and pencil shavings are joined by floral hints of violets, plus ripe cassis on the nose. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, it comes across as dense yet not heavy (does that make any sense?), finishing with silky tannins and a tremendously long finish. It’s a tour de force in Saint-Joseph, nearly equal in quality to Chapoutier’s parcel-selection wines from across the river in Hermitage.”
