The Saint Joseph Rouge 'Instinct' from Domaine Jolivet is a pure Syrah of great character, produced by a family-owned company that places great emphasis on the appellation. It comes from very old vines planted on typical granite soils that contribute great freshness to the sip. On the nose there are fresh scents of black fruits, hints of violets and typical, intense spicy notes. On the palate it is balanced and remarkably structured, with well-integrated silky tannins and a powerful finish. Try it with spicy meats, such as a lamb tagine, and cheeses with character
Very dark garnet red
Fresh black fruit aromas, typical hints of black pepper and meaty hints reminiscent of bacon, cocoa on the finish
Round, broad and velvety palate, very fragrant and well-integrated tannins
