Domaine Barou, Saint-Joseph Rouge "Un Autre Monde", Rhone Valley, France 2023 {biodynamic} 100% Syrah
BLUEBERRY & RASPBERRY, SMOKED BLACK PEPPERCORNS & CACAO The best wines of the 40-mile vertical expanse that is Saint-Joseph typically come from the northernmost and southernmost reaches of the appellation. The Barou estate, long steeped in fiercely naturalistic viticulture, is of the former persuasion, crafting beautiful, bright reds like this one – brimming with darkly vivid fruit and lively spice. Emmanuel, representing the estate’s current generation, took over from his forward-thinking father, Alexis, in 1997. Serving Suggestion: Duck sausage w/ panfried potatoes, onions, & parsley. Brisket. Rich cow’s milk & alpine cheeses like Cantal or Gruyère.
