Description

Etienne Becheras Saint-Joseph Rouge 'Tour Joviac' 2023This special, limited cuve is produced from two parcels in Arras that are on steep, rocky hillsides. Although from young vines, the excellent position of the vineyards yields a wine of compelling concentration, plum like fruit and emphatic structure. Vinification is similar to the St. Joseph Tradition but the levage is longer. Again, the wine is neither fined nor filtered.

“Lapideus” is a rocket to ride

and the Rollins turn out a stunning example every vintage—one of the most consistent and distinctive red Burgundies in our portfolio

it lets the terroir do its work

and subtle bubbles that hang back and let the vinous core of the wine shine through

6 g/L dosage

with a kinetic sense of acidity and chiseled energy on the palate

The result is a powerful yet elegant wine of great breed

and long age-ability

and the finish is a long decrescendo of honey-tinged citrus fruits and deep rock

situated at 400 meters altitude in the Valle de la Orotava

all on a driving frame

located just outside of Travaillan
