Saint-Joseph, in the Northern Rhône, is home to beautifully food-friendly, granitic expressions of red wines made from Syrah and whites from Marsanne/Roussanne.
But at over 50km in length from north to south, the region is home to are many different stylistic renderings. At one end of the spectrum there are fresh, spicy, floral examples; at the other, you’ll find fuller, more powerful versions.
Join Matt Walls, the acclaimed author of Wines of the Rhône, who will showcase a host of stellar wines to illustrate these different styles. He’ll explain how the terroir influences the wines to create such different expressions, and why this appellation is finally getting the reputation it deserves.
We are delighted to also be joined by Michel Chapoutier, one of the Rhône’s greatest winemakers, who will be present to offer his unparalleled insight into the appellation, pour his wines, and reveal stories from a lifetime spent making wine in the region.
We hope to see you there.
