2022 Famille de Boel 'Rue de Poulies’ Saint Joseph, France
$69.99
‘Rue de Poulies’ Saint Joseph is a stunning example of how complex, deep, and lovely wines from this region can be. Being a mono-varietal Syrah and not a blend, this mix of estate fruit is from both the commune of St. Jean de Muzols (young vines) and Tournon (a vineyard of about fifty years). Each year is harvested by hand when the perfect balance of pH and sugar development is found in the grapes. The grapes are fermented in stainless steel and see regular punch downs for the first week, and then gentle pump overs until complete. Half of the wine remains in tank, and the other half is placed into old French barrique for about a year until it is bottled. The result shows classic black and red fruits on the nose, as well as pork fat and peppercorns, while the palate follows with a deep core of minerality, ripe and fresh fruit, and is lined with spicy acidity.
