Domaine Louis Cheze, Saint Joseph Anges, 2022

Domaine Louis Chèze’s Saint-Joseph Anges 2022 is a polished, expressive Syrah from one of the Rhône Valley’s most respected names. Made from old vines on the granite-rich Louze plateau, it combines Saint-Joseph’s signature finesse with depth, spice, and a beautifully textured finish.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright ruby color with a delicate purple edge. The nose opens with vanilla, sweet spice, and ripe black fruits such as mulberry and sun-warmed berries, while the palate is velvety and structured, layered with fresh green herbs and a subtle note of green pepper. The oak influence is well integrated, adding warmth and complexity without overpowering the fruit. This is a wine with both immediate charm and the concentration to develop further in bottle over the next several years.

Production
The grapes come from up to 50-year-old Syrah vines planted on the granite soils of the Louze plateau in Saint-Joseph, where the terroir brings tension, minerality, and aromatic lift. Harvesting is done by hand, and the fruit is carefully sorted on arrival at the winery before pressing. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation in barrel. The wine is then aged for up to 22 months in 100% new oak barrels and bottled unfiltered, giving it added structure, complexity, and a more layered mouthfeel.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for grilled or roasted red meats, game, duck breast, or rich lamb dishes, as well as mushroom-based plates and hard aged cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young, to allow the wine to खुलen and show its full aromatic range.
