2020 Saint-Joseph Petit Pere Red Wine by Aymeric Paillard

Discover Aymeric Paillard’s 2020 Saint-Joseph Syrah: A Masterpiece of Organic Winemaking

Hailing from the storied Rhône Valley, Aymeric Paillard has redefined viticulture in Saint-Joseph with his innovative approach to organic farming. This 2020 Syrah is crafted from vines planted over three decades ago on Sarras’s south-facing slopes—a terroir characterized by degraded granitic soils that impart exceptional complexity and minerality.

Paillard’s commitment to sustainability shines through every bottle. His 3.3-hectare estate in Tournon-sur-Rhône is farmed organically, emphasizing biodiversity and minimal intervention. The Syrah grapes are harvested at peak ripeness before undergoing whole-cluster fermentation in small vats, preserving their natural elegance and aromatic depth.

This wine is a testament to Rhône’s terroir: Expect a velvety texture with notes of dark cherry, black pepper, and subtle smokiness, complemented by refined tannins that invite lingering sips. At 14.5% alcohol, it strikes the perfect balance between power and finesse—ideal for pairing with hearty stews or charcuterie boards.

– Organic Precision: Certified organic farming ensures purity and authenticity in every glass.
