Domaine Courbis St-Joseph 2015

The quality of St-Joseph is all about location: the 19ha of land that Domaine Courbis own are all on south and east facing slopes that soak up the sun during the day to achieve optimal ripeness. Especially so in the warm 2015 vintage, resulting in aromas of ripe blackberries and black plums, together with pepper, licorice, tarragon, and black olives, to a grainy, tannic backbone. Great example of St-Joseph at an equally great price.
