Hervé Souhaut, Clos des Cessieux, Saint-Joseph, Rhône, France, 2024
Hervé Souhaut has achieved cult status in the Northern Rhône by applying natural winemaking principles to the region's steep, granitic terroirs. The Clos des Cessieux is a prized, south-facing parcel in Saint-Joseph, where the rugged granite soils yield excellent Syrah.
Cultivated using organic practices, the grapes are fermented whole-cluster with native yeasts and aged in older oak to ensure the terroir remains unobstructed. The wine is savory and energetic, offering vibrant notes of dark plum, cracked black pepper, and black olive tapenade, framed by fine tannins and lively acidity.
Varietal: Syrah
Appellation: Saint-Joseph, Northern Rhône, France
Farming: Organic practices
Style: Red. Dry, savory and energetic
