This is the eighth consecutive vintage that we’ve offered of the de Gouye Saint Joseph V.V. - so that’s saying something. We love the 100% Syrah wines of the Northern Rhone that express soil-transparency and terroir pulled directly from the earth and vigneron Philippe Desbos’ wines of Domaine de Gouye are perfect examples. Domaine de Gouye is the epitome of old-school, classic northern Rhône Syrah. The Desbos vineyard lies just above the legendary Raymond Trollat vines that now go into Saint Northern Rhone icon Pierre Gonon's Saint Joseph (and sells for $100+) in the commune of Saint-Jean-de-Muzols. It is one of the original villages that comprised the Saint-Joseph AOC, directly across the Rhone River from the hill of Hermitage. The Debos's 2023 Vieilles Vignes offers a deep, floral nose with accents of violets, fennel, pepper, cured black olives and earth. The palate is more structured like a fine Hermitage than most Saint Josephs: a firm tannic backbone and plenty of acidity to keep the blueberry and raspberry fruit fresh and vibrant, allowing the granitic minerality and earth tones to take center stage.  Enjoy this vin de garde through 2040.
