Dom. Mucyn 2022 St. Joseph Rouge "Les Salamandres" 

There is no question that the best St. Joseph wines bring an added dimension of power and concentration to
the table and this is no exception – except the premium you pay is so negligible! This beauty has the hallmark
tensile strength of the vintage and a flowery Syrah perfume of unmissable class.

Other Wine Facts
Majestic shape, dazzling colours … salamanders are frequently found darting silently around our parcels of St. Joseph – growing on steep hillsides where the vineyard work is intense. Since ancient times, this intriguing reptile has been said to have the gift of being resistant to fire. Its rich symbolism made it the emblem of François the 1st. We therefore decided to adopt the salamander for the name of our 100% Syrah St.Joseph wine, whose intense aromas and velvety tannins will have you“burning with desire”!

Notes from the Producer: Its dense ruby hue flecked with crimson and purple tints is delightful. Then comes the lush, candied, spicy and fruity nose with notes of blackberries, cassis, Morello cherries and cocoa. On the palate, the wine is meaty and balanced with structuring tannins of ripe grapes. This Saint-Joseph Les Salamandres will be at its best after 4-5 years cellar ageing. Ideally served at 16°C. Try it paired with game (roast venison, wild boar stew) or roast turkey. You can also enjoy it with fine charcuterie (Bayonne ham, Bellota or San Daniele).
