Saint-Joseph Rouge, “Tour Joviac”

This special, limited cuvée (approximately 3,000 bottles per annum) 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 élevage is longer. Again, the wine is neither fined nor filtered.
