The spicy notes of this powerful Saint-Joseph make a perfect pairing with a sweet and salty dish. More info

This cuvée comes from the vineyard which is the furthest south of the appellation, 8 km from Tournon. Every year 5,000 bottles are produced. In the vineyards (which are planted in clay, chalk-rich and granite soils), Dominique and Laurent apply green harvesting to reduce the bunches which are considered surplus and to favour better maturity and concentration of the remaining berries. The subsequent harvests are done by hand and the crop is stored in small crates to prevent the bunches from being crushed. They are completely destemmed before vinification in closed, thermo-regulated, stainless-steel vats. Winemaking temperatures range between 30 and 32°C. Extraction is optimal and maceration can last up to 15 days. Ageing lasts 14 months and occurs in vats and barriques. On the palate, this Saint-Joseph is powerful and spicy.

Saint-Joseph Courbis serve at a temperature of 14°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Pigeonneau roti à l ail confit, Agneau sucré aux dates, Rôti de sanglier aux airelles.
