92-94 The 2021 Saint-Joseph Le Clos comes from an east-facing parcel Michel purchased in the early 1990s at the urging of his grandfather, who told him it produced the finest wine of the appellation before World War II. Planted in the late 1990s, it has yielded a 2021 redolent with scents of menthol, cedar and mixed red and black cherries. Only medium-bodied, it seems less expansive on the palate than the les Granites bottling, but perhaps it’s a bit more structured and firmer yet still silky and harmonious.

Varietal Syrah

Known as Syrah in most countries around the world, and Shiraz in Australia and certain other regions of the New World, this grape varietal has proven over the centuries to be one of the most powerful and flavorful red wine grapes there is. It is now one of the planet's most widely grown grapes, and is a favorite with wineries as a result of its robustness and versatility. It isn't easy to identify many characteristics of this particular varietal, due to the fact that it is highly versatile and shows significant differences in flavor and character depending on the terroir it is grown in, and the climatic conditions of the region. However, Syrah is most widely associated with full bodied, strong and loud red wines, packed full of fruity and spicy flavors, held in a beautifully deep red liquid.

Region Rhone Valley

The Rhone Valley of southern France is a particularly fascinating wine region, with a history that stretches back to at least six hundred BCE, when the ancient Greeks first began cultivating vines there. The region itself is split into two distinct sub-regions, with the northern sub-region being famed for its production of exceptional Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier wines, packed full of interesting character and expressing the terroir found there. The southern sub-region is home to an enormous variety of grapes, and produces red, white and rosé wines, and some of the world's most famous and adored blended wines. The continental climate of the region is ideal for growing grapes, and the winds which blow from the Central Massif help temper the heat in the vineyards, leading to very ripe fruits holding plenty of flavor.

Wine Spectator

Densely packed and smoldering, with charred mesquite and tobacco leaf overlaying the rich core of mocha, black cherry, tapenade and lavender notes, all wrapped around a spine of cast iron. Bay leaf, white pepper and herbs play out on the long, chewy finish. Drink now through 2035. 5 cases imported.

Jeb Dunnuck

92-94 Always harvested about week after the Lieu-dit Saint Joseph, the 2021 Saint Joseph Le Clos has a brilliant nose of pure cassis, fresh fig, and almost blue fruits as well as Hermitage-like nuances of flowers, leather, and crushed rock. It's medium-bodied, has terrific concentration, and a more focused, serious feel to its tannins. All destemmed and aged in a mix of barrels and demi-muids (20% new), it's up with the crème de la crème of the vintage and is a classic Saint Joseph in the making. It should also be long-lived.
