Tasting notes
The 2022 Pierre-Jean Villa Saint-Joseph 'Préface' is a Syrah-based wine that elegantly captures the essence of the Saint-Joseph appellation. Deep purple in hue, it opens with expressive aromas of red fruit, spice, and a subtle smoky undertone. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet refined, with a well-balanced tannic structure and a long, lingering finish marked by savory spice, black pepper, and a touch of vanilla. Hints of herbs and earth add further depth, making this a characterful and approachable introduction to the northern Rhône, with enough structure to age gracefully in the cellar.
