    COMMENTARY: The 2019 Domaine Julien Barge Saint-Joseph Clos de la Ribaudy is smooth-sailing and delicious from start to finish. TASTING NOTES: This wine excels with lovely aromas and flavors of black fruit, hints of aromatic flowers, and tangy mineral notes. Pair it with a slowly-cooked, savory lamb stew. (Tasted: July 28, 2022, San Francisco, CA)

The transition from Gilles to Julien Barge has been years in the making and culminated with the 2016 vintage where the wines were labeled under Julien’s name. Still bottling the Cuvee Plessy from the Cote Blonde as wells a Cote Blonde designate and a very limited amount of Cote Brune which averages only around 400 cases for the world. The cellar was completely modernized back in 2000 in order to be dedicated to the best vilification possible for the future.

Marked by an unmistakable deep purple hue and savory aromatics, Syrah makes an intense, powerful and often age-worthy red. Native to the Northern Rhône, Syrah achieves its maximum potential in the steep village of Hermitage and plays an important component in the Red Rhône Blends of the south, adding color and structure to Grenache and Mourvèdre. Syrah is the most widely planted grape of Australia and is important in California and Washington. Sommelier Secret—Such a synergy these three create together, the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre trio often takes on the shorthand term, “GSM.”

Spanning the longest stretch of river in the northern Rhône—from Condrieu in the north, to Cornas in the south—the heart of St.-Joseph lies directly across the Rhône River from Hermitage. While its soils are basically the same as Hermitage: granite, supplemented by sand and gravel, its east facing slope receives less sunlight than Hermitage, which causes less overall berry ripening on its Syrah vines. However, some of the best of them can rival any fine expression of Hermitage, Cote-Rotie or Cornas with concentrated black fruits, dark spices, crushed rock and violets. A general advantage of the region is that its Syrahs typically don’t need as much time in the bottle compared to a Cote-Rotie or Hermitage and are much easier on the bank account!

A textbook St.-Joseph red is firm with a core of minerality that is enhanced by savory and peppery qualities. Aromas and flavors of smoke, olives, herbs, and violets are common; its wines are dense in red and black fruit.

St.-Joseph is also a source of fine northern Rhône white wine. Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne grow well here and can be blended or made into single varietal wines. St.-Joseph whites are full and silky with citrus, pear and pineapple flavors and a rich bouquet reminiscent of honeysuckle, toasted nuts, spice and caramel.
