Saint-Joseph 2017 Xavier Gerard
Domaine Xavier Gerard's Saint-Joseph 2017 is a fine wine produced in the Northern Rhône region of France. The grapes used to produce this wine come exclusively from vineyards located in the Saint-Joseph area, where climatic and geological conditions are particularly favorable for growing Syrah grapes.
Domaine Xavier Gerard's cultivation philosophy is based on the use of sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural techniques. The vines are grown naturally, without the use of chemicals that are harmful to human health and the environment. In addition, the grapes are harvested exclusively by hand in order to ensure the highest quality of the grapes.
Vinification of Saint-Joseph 2017 is done in the traditional way, with temperature-controlled fermentation and prolonged maceration of the grapes. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for a period of 12 months in order to ensure the proper evolution of the wine.
Organoleptically, the 2017 Saint-Joseph from Domaine Xavier Gerard shows a deep ruby red color. On the nose, there are notes of black fruits and spices, with a slight hint of vanilla and wood. On the palate, the wine is structured and full-bodied, with soft tannins and good aromatic persistence.
