About this Wine

Saint-Joseph Janoune by Jean-Baptiste Souillard is a dry red wine from the Northern Rhône Valley, made exclusively from Syrah. The style shows a precise and elegant profile, with a medium-full body, fine tannins and a clear minerality. Spontaneous fermentation and aging in used oak barrels preserve the character of dark fruit and tension, without excessive woody notes. This Saint-Joseph offers balance and versatility, suitable for the table and for a period of aging in the cellar.

Visually, the wine is an intense ruby red with violet reflections typical of young Syrah. On the nose there are dark fruit aromas such as blackberry and plum, with fine spices, hints of pepper, and a floral touch of violet. In the background, hints of graphite and wet stone emerge, linked to the granitic soil. On the palate it is deep and composed, with pronounced acidity, silky tannins, and a long, mineral finish with spicy returns.

This Saint-Joseph pairs well with grilled red meats, braises and roasts, thanks to its structure and fine tannins. It also stands up well to game, especially with herbs and spices. It matches with aged and hard cheeses, where the savoriness finds balance in the freshness and fruit. Regionally, it is ideal with herb-roasted lamb or beef stew in red wine. Among French dishes, coq au vin makes an apt pairing for intensity and persistence.

Wines of Rhone Valley

The Rhone wine region is situation in the south of France in the Rhone Valley. The region is split into north and south with distinctively different winemaking styles. In the north, the main grape used is Syrah and is sometimes blended with white varietals. In the south however, reds are a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan and Cinsault. You may be familiar with this sort of blend; in Australia it is labelled GSM.

Wines are produced under various Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) designations. The most prestigious of which is Chateauneuf-du-Pape. You may also have heard of other AOC names such as Gigondas, Hermitage, Lirac, St Joseph. Wines coming from these and other AOCs are all on the higher end of the market.

On the value end we have wines produced in Cotes-du-Rhone AOC. Cotes-du-Rhone often refers to wines made in the Rhone Valley that do not fall under any other AOC, often from the flatter areas around Southern Rhone. However, it also does include the fringes of well-respected northern appellations as well. In terms of volume, a majority of Rhone wine falls under the Cotes-du-Rhone AOC and it offers some of the best value in France and even some first-rate and age-worthy reds.

Full-bodied and flavourful white wine blends are also made in the region. These are typically a combination of Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier.
