Vincent Paris Saint-Joseph 'Les Côtes' 2016
- In stock
- Inventory on the way
Shedding its historic reputation for producing ‘rustic’ or plain old ‘dirty’ wines, Cornas has gradually emerged from the shadows of Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie to be celebrated among the Northern Rhône’s most fashionable reds.
Among a generation of vignerons building on the legacies of two of the appellation’s greatest winemakers Auguste Clape and Thierry Allemand, Vincent Paris started out in 1997 after acquiring two of his legendary uncle Robert Michel’s old-vine parcels.
A self-confessed “maniac” when it comes to care in the vineyards and cleanliness in the cellar, Vincent single-handedly built his winery and gradually acquired 8ha of vines across Cornas and Saint-Joseph, which he now farms using minimal intervention techniques and without chemicals.
Made from vines planted high up in Ardoix in the 1990s, his Saint-Joseph 'Les Côtes' is lacy and mineral rich, displaying spice-accented blue fruit, floral scents, and a hint of earthiness. 90-92 Points, Vinous
