The Elegant Red
La Souteronne, Domaine Romaneux-Destezet
Saint Joseph, Rhone, France
Some wines stick with you. This is one of them. 60-80 yr old vines. Fermentation in old barrels. A truly superb Gamay with a lovely mineral edge, meatinessm dark fruits, and utter elegance, We waited a year for this to come back on the shelf. Sigh.
