On paper, Saint-Joseph may come in behind Hermitage, Côte-Rôtie, and Cornas in terms of prestigious Northern Rhône appellations.
However, that would never occur to you when tasting Gonon's Saint-Joseph.
The amount of gracefulness that Gonon is able to coax from the hills of Saint-Joseph is extraordinary.
There's no mystery as to why these are some of the most sought after wines of the northern Rhône.
Gonon’s signatures are a pure and clear profile with an intricate and detailed presentation of blackberries, olives, violets, spice, and forest floor notes wrapped around a smoke-infused minerality. This is authentic northern Rhône rendered with the utmost care.
I'm really excited about Gonon's 2018. It's a layered and powerful vintage, for sure. With that said, it's the wine's radiance and precision that really stands out. It's easy to see this bottle aging beautifully.
The demand around the world for Gonon's Saint-Joseph is so great that it has become very hard to find the wine in quantity. I feel lucky to be able to offer this and encourage you to order as soon as possible. I doubt that it will stick around for long.
