Chapoutier Saint-Joseph Les Granits Rouge 2021 Bottle size: 750ml
France, Rhône
R975
‘Coming from the lieu-dit Saint-Joseph in Tournon, the 2021 Saint-Joseph Les Granits combines scents of ripe cherries and crushed stone on the nose. Medium to full-bodied, it's plump, ripe, succulent, silky and long, with less of an acid tang on the finish than Chapoutier's other 2021 Saint-Joseph bottlings. 2023-2030’ – Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, 91-93/100
‘The 2021 Saint-Joseph Les Granits shines brightly in this challenging vintage. Crushed violets, cedar, black cherry and ferrous elements rise up from the glass. Touching the palate with good energy and concentration, the 2021 is a distinctively savory Les Granits with plenty of character. 2023-2030’ - Nicholas Greinacher, Vinous, 90/100
‘Cask sample. A little reductive – smoke and meat. Very smoky! A sleek palate with gravel, earth and spice. A dense palate with very firm tannins. Direct and linear at the moment. Good concentration of fruit and weight – grilled meat and blue fruit. Plenty of acidity to lift this. Needs time. 2027-2034.’ – Alistair Cooper MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16/20
