Tasting Notes
The estate’s top Saint-Joseph bottling is the 2020 Domaine Gérard Courbis Saint-Joseph Vieilles Vignes. A selection from their finest old vines, this cuvee is aged for 24 months in a combination of barriques and larger 600 lt. oak barrels.
Expressing the essence of hillside vineyards, the wine features savory aromas of smoked meat, olives and garrigue with hints of violets and blackberry. Concentrated red and black fruit on the palate leads to complex nuances of leather, graphite and pepper. The finish is long and smooth with feather-like tannins and soft integrated oak. A real treat!
