Yannick Alléno & Michel Chapoutier
Yannick Alléno & Michel Chapoutier. Two passionate “créateurs”. Two strong characters. One same language: the quest for refinement. Yannick Alléno, a Michelin-starred chef and true perfectionist. Michel Chapoutier, a pioneering and deeply committed winemaker with very strong values. One shared passion: the Rhône Valley.
Very fresh, very complex ... This St. Joseph in deep garnet red nose reveals notes of cocoa, ripe black fruit. Woody notes too. The attack is powerful, rich. The tannins are dense and tight. I appreciate his fine mineral tension and persistent finish.
