Saint-Joseph Châtelet Monier Perréol 2021

Located in the Saint-Joseph appellation in the northern Rhône Valley, Domaine Monier-Perréol takes its name from Jean-Pierre Monier and Philippe Perréol, two winegrowers united by a shared passion for wine and terroir who chose to combine their expertise. They have worked side by side since 1995, farming their 12 hectares of vines biodynamically with the utmost respect for their terroir. The estate is also unafraid to embrace innovation. Some vines, for example, have been top-grafted with rigorous selection of the finest grapes, allowing high-quality vine material to be established more quickly. The most inaccessible parcels are still ploughed by horse.
In the winery, the same philosophy prevails. The aim is to craft intense, generous yet vibrant wines, gently and without inputs. Extended ageing in casks is carefully managed to ensure the oak never overwhelms the wine.
Domaine Monier-Perréol may still be something of a well-kept secret, but it deserves to be discovered.
