Famille De Boel Saint-Joseph Rue Des Poulies Rouge 2024 750ml

‘Rue de Poulies’ Saint Joseph is a stunning example of how complex, deep, and lovely wines from this region can be. This cuvée is 100% estate fruit from communes of St. Jean de Muzols (young vines) and Tournon (a vineyard of about fifty years). All hand harvested, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel and see regular punch downs for the first week, and then gentle pump overs until complete. Half of the wine remains in tank, and the other half is placed into old French barrique for about a year until it is bottled. The result shows classic black and red fruits on the nose, as well as pork fat and peppercorns, while the palate follows with a deep core of minerality, ripe and fresh fruit, and is lined with spicy acidity. 13.2% ABV
