2020 Domaine Coursodon Saint-Joseph L’Olivaie Red Wine

Experience the acclaimed elegance of Domaine Coursodon’s 2020 Saint-Joseph Syrah, a profound expression from France’s Rhône Valley. Crafted from exceptional 60-year-old vines, this old-vine Syrah captivates with its layered complexity and remarkable aging potential.

Critics celebrate its brilliance: Jeb Dunnuck awarded 95 points for its “rocking array” of blackberries, blueberries, crushed minerals, white pepper, and floral notes, praising its medium-full body, deep mid-palate, and polished tannins that “give top Hermitage a run for its money.” Wine Advocate (93 points) highlights its enthralling fusion of ripe raspberries and savory olives, noting an “alluring, silky mouthfeel” with vibrant freshness on the finish.

Winemaker insights reveal a wine of power and finesse: Expect a very dark crimson hue with purple glints, leading to a concentrated nose of red fruits and spice. The palate delivers structured intensity balanced by velvety tannins and impressive length. While already compelling, this rich Saint-Joseph red will unveil greater aromatic depth over the next several years—decant before serving to appreciate its evolution.
