Description

The Saint Epine from Herve Souhaut is crafted entirely from ancient vines (100+ years old!) on the estate, that Herve tends to with the utmost care.

The fruit is hand harvested, fermented as whole bunches in wood tanks before being set down to age on its lees in used oak.

The wine explodes with aromas of spice, orange and purple florals; red berries spiced with black pepper. It's a wine to sit back and ponder; impeccably crafted and effortlessly elegant. Will greatly reward those patient enough to give it a bit of time in the cellar.

Recently a new wine came into play due to inheritance, a super parcel of red Saint-Joseph in the lieu-dit Les Cessieux (see main picture) is born. This joins the established and iconic Saint-Joseph Sainte Épine (from vines over 100 years old) and together they are the jewels in the crown at this estate. Both are wines of contemplation and inspiration displaying Syrah’s nobility and virility alongside myriad exquisite fragrances and the superfine texture that are the hand of the maker. These are very rare indeed and repay careful cellaring handsomely.
