2022 Pierre Gonon Saint Joseph

Other Reviews....
The 2022 Saint-Joseph from Pierre Gonon is a beauty. Despite a slightly introverted bouquet, it is bursting with aromas of cherries, black olive, violet, dark berries and blueberry. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and layered with a textural attack, it's pure with a fleshy core of fruit framed by supple tannins and a refreshing perfumed mid-palate that culminates in an ethereal, long and delicately floral finish. Despite a dry vintage, this refined, precise wine is full of freshness. It will require patience (10 to 15 years). Kudos! Drink 2029-2044.

The 2022 Saint-Joseph is medium-bodied, showcasing ripe red plum, orange rind, graphite, violet and a hint of licorice on the nose. Framed by ripe, polished tannins, the serious 2022 delivers ample energy and tension on the savory palate. This is best enjoyed after four years of cellaring. Drink 2029-2040.

Black and red fruits, licorice, graphite, dried herbs, and chocolate notes all define the 2022 Saint Joseph. Medium to full-bodied and beautifully balanced, it offers plenty of ripe tannins and impressive concentration while staying elegant and fresh. This age-worthy Saint Joseph will benefit from short-term cellaring. Drink 2027-2042.

Relatively light in body for this cuvée, with very fine tannins for the vintage and good acidity. Nice sense of vibrancy, but perhaps not as deep or long as the finest vintages of Gonon's St-Joseph. Enjoyably crisp structure, however, and a lightly mineral finish. There's a possibility this might close down for a period, so drink young or wait until 2030. Drink 2024-2036.
