Tasting Notes
The Domaine Courbis Saint-Joseph Rouge 2023 is an elegant expression of the Syrah grape from one of the Rhône Valley's finest appellations. This wine opens with refined and aromatic notes of ripe red fruits and blackcurrants, creating a delightful nose that is both fresh and inviting. The palate is well-balanced, offering a fleshy mouthfeel that is both smooth and full of character. Hints of violet further accentuate the wine's intense fruit flavours, which are complemented by fine, silky tannins. This wine is robust and expressive, with complex layers of plum, smoked bacon, and a subtle hint of black pepper. The finish is long, with a harmonious blend of fruit and savoury notes.

| Winery | Domaine Courbis dates from the 16th century and has been handed down from father to son since the start of the 20th century. It is now under the dynamic partnership of two brothers: Laurent, responsible for winemaking, and Dominique, who looks after the 35-hectare vineyard. The estate includes eight hectares in Cornas, five in Saint-Joseph Blanc and 19 in Saint-Joseph Rouge, in the communes of Châteaubourg and Cornas. The vines are planted on steep granite hillsides, and their polished wines are wonderful examples of modern vinification blended with traditional viticulture and top-quality terroir. The Domaine Courbis wines are extremely high quality and consistently met with worldwide acclaim. Saint-Joseph is situated at the confluence of the Rhone and Isère rivers on the right bank of the Rhone. Domaine Courbis owns the most southern parcels of the Saint Joseph appellation on very steep and terraced slopes with a south and eastern orientation. The soils comprise 30% clay and limestone and 70% decomposed granite, which retains the heat from the day and promotes a long, slow ripening period for the grapes. A green harvest takes place to encourage more mature flavour compounds and increase the quality of the berries. The average yield is 37 hectolitres per hectare. |
