    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    A classy Syrah of measure, pep and finesse. Initially reductive, this soon blows off to reveal juicy and engaging black and red berries, traces of mint and rock salt, a wine with a clear identity. Violets, blossom and black pepper grace the finish. To err on the safe side, Bastien reduced the whole bunch in 2021 to 20%. A blend of 10, predominantly east-facing, St Joseph parcels in St Jean de Muzols – one of the renowned, original St Joseph villages, situated in the southern part of the appellation. The components of the final blend are all vinified separately and fermented with between 30-100% whole bunches depending on the plot. Aged for 14 months in barriques and larger demi-muid barrels with very little new wood.
