We have excellent pricing today on this Saint Joseph best buy from Domaine Jean-Claude Marsanne, which is the best vintage of this wine ever! 100% Syrah from the northern Rhône, sourced from 8 hectares of steep, terraced vineyards in Mauves and Tournon. Domaine Jean-Claude Marsanne has been family-run for generations, focusing on low-intervention winemaking to express terroir, including hand-harvesting, native yeast fermentation, and aging in neutral oak barrels. It's a fantastic example showing the appellation's typicity with dark, concentrated fruits, purple flowers, spice, and classic Northern Rhône pepper and smoke. This is an outstanding, expressive St. Joseph that checks all the boxes for one of the best buys from the Northern Rhône this vintage and is drinking great now after some extra time in the bottle!

Vinous (Josh Raynolds) 93 points! "Opaque garnet color. Mineral-accented blackberry, cherry and olive aromas show fine definition and are complemented by floral and exotic spice flourish. Densely packed but lively dark fruit preserve, candied violet, olive and cracked pepper flavors show fine detail and become sweeter on the back half. Finishes with smoky mineral cut, harmonious tannins and strong, floral-dominated persistence."
