Saint-Joseph Les Royes Domaine Courbis 2017
The wine
This cuvée is made completely of Syrah grapes from a particularly steep clay-limestone terroir. Aged in oak barrels for 16 and 18 months, it unfurls a lovely garnet hue which exudes notes of élevage (wood, smokiness, roasting,) and dark fruit. Its soft tannins give it great length and good aging potential.
