Saint Joseph AOC, Agricola, Domaine Garon, 2020

Originating from the esteemed Saint Joseph AOC in France’s Rhône Valley, this 2020 vintage from Domaine Garon showcases the region’s rich winemaking heritage. Crafted primarily from Syrah grapes, it reflects the unique terroir, with steep granite slopes and the Mistral wind giving it character.

The wine presents a deep ruby hue with aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and hints of black pepper. On the palate, it offers a harmonious balance of fruit-forward flavors and structured tannins, culminating in an elegant finish. Best served at 16-18°C, it pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and aged cheeses like Saint-Nectaire, Comté, or a bold Aged Gruyère. For a memorable experience, try it alongside blue cheeses such as Roquefort or Fourme d’Ambert, which perfectly complement the wine’s complexity.
