Bastien Jolivet is a talented young winemaker from the Northern Rhône who took over his family’s domaine in Saint-Jean-de-Muzols (Saint-Joseph appellation) in 2014. Working with passion and precision on steep granite and gneiss slopes, he practices organic farming and focuses on producing pure, expressive Syrah with minimal intervention. La Cuvée de Louis Rouge 2022 is a vibrant Vin de France made from 100% Syrah. The vines, some planted in 1972 and others more recently, grow at high altitude (around 350m) just above the Saint-Joseph boundary on cooler slopes, giving the wine freshness and elegance. The 2022 vintage offers fragrant aromas of ripe blackberry, blackcurrant, violet, cracked black pepper, and subtle smoky notes. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, juicy and fresh with cool red and black fruit, fine tannins, lively acidity, stony minerality, and a clean, savory finish. A delicious, approachable Northern Rhône Syrah perfect for everyday drinking or with grilled meats, charcuterie, and Mediterranean dishes.
