Christine Vernay Terres D'Encre Saint-Joseph 2019

CRITICAL ACCLAIM:

“From a muscovite-based site above Chavanay, the 2019 Saint Joseph Terres d'Encre doesn't come across as being from a particularly hot vintage. Instead, it offers charming nuances of violets and cracked pepper set against a backdrop of just-ripe cherries. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, simultaneously tart and silky, it finishes long and mouthwatering. Best After 2022.” - 91 PTS, WINE ADVOCATE

WINEMAKER NOTES:

TASTING: “This wine shows the characteristic spicy structure and body of the estate’s fine wines with flavors and aromas of dark fruits, liquorice, subtle spices, red pepper, chocolate, and woody notes. (13% ABV)”
