André Perret
St Joseph, 2012
justerini & brooks tasting note
Gripping red and dark fruits, fresh and easy, lovely bright notes of cracked pepper complimenting the fruity bramble black cherry and loganberry characteristics. A blend of Syrah vines in the commune of Chavanay in the north part of St Joseph near Condrieu. Made from 100% de-stalked Syrah and aged in 20% new oak barriques usually for 15-16 months but for the 2015 Andre will extend this to between 18-24 months.
