M. Chapoutier Saint-Joseph Les Granits Rouge 2021
From Maison M. Chapoutier in Tournon, Northern Rhône, the Saint-Joseph Les Granits Rouge 2021 is a refined Syrah from steep, granitic soils in the appellation’s birthplace. Hand-harvested from organic and biodynamic vineyards with old vines, it’s 100% destemmed and aged 16–18 months in French oak casks (25% new), offering a deep ruby hue with vibrant complexity.
Tasting Notes
A powerful, elegant red with rich fruit and mineral finesse, showcasing Saint-Joseph’s terroir.
The nose reveals black plum, raspberry, and blackcurrant, with hints of graphite, dried lavender, and black pepper. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and silky, with fine tannins, vibrant acidity, and flavors of dark fruit, spice, and a long, mineral finish.
Awards and Accolades
The 2021 Saint-Joseph Les Granits Rouge earned 92–94 points from Jeb Dunnuck for its elegant fruit and minerality. V2Vin awarded 90 points for its silky tannins and balanced structure.
