Saint Joseph Monteillet St Joseph, 2022

Saint Joseph Monteillet 2022 is a refined Rhône Syrah that captures the elegance and depth for which Saint-Joseph is known. Produced by Domaine du Monteillet, it offers a classic northern Rhône character with a balance of dark fruit, spice, and savoury complexity that makes the appellation so distinctive.

Tasting Notes
Expect a deep ruby colour with purple reflections. The nose typically leans toward blackberries, black cherries, violet, pepper, and subtle smoky or herbal notes, with the kind of cool-climate freshness that gives Saint-Joseph its lift and precision. On the palate, this is likely to be medium to full-bodied with firm but polished tannins, juicy dark berry fruit, peppery spice, and a savoury mineral edge. The 2022 vintage should offer approachability in youth while still having the structure to develop further complexity over the next 5 to 10 years, depending on storage conditions.

Production
Saint-Joseph is one of the classic terroirs of the northern Rhône, with steep, granite-rich slopes that suit Syrah beautifully. Domaine du Monteillet works in a region where warm days and cooler nights help preserve freshness and aromatic intensity, and the grapes are generally harvested by hand to protect fruit quality on the hillside vineyards. Vinification is typically carried out with a focus on expressing site character, often involving traditional fermentations and careful élevage to retain the wine’s purity, spice, and structure.

Food & Serving
This Syrah is an excellent match for grilled lamb, roast beef, duck, game, or dishes with mushrooms and herbs. It also works well with aged cheeses and hearty Mediterranean fare. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30 to 60 minutes if opening young to allow the aromas and tannins to open up.

Producer
Domaine du Monteillet is a respected producer in the northern Rhône, closely associated with the Saint-Joseph appellation and known for crafting wines with authenticity and regional character. The domaine has built a strong reputation for producing expressive, terroir-driven Syrah that reflects the steep granite vineyards of the area. Its wines are appreciated for their balance, precision, and ability to age gracefully.
