Le Clos

2017 Saint-Joseph Red Blend

M. Chapoutier Le Clos is a captivating red blend from the famed Saint-Joseph region, a prestigious area in the northern Rhône Valley of France known for its exceptional terroir and stunning Syrah wines. This 2017 vintage showcases a deep, rich red color that immediately draws the eye. On the palate, it offers a medium-bodied experience, perfectly balanced with bright acidity that enlivens the wine and enhances its fruit-forward character. The blend delivers a harmonious array of dark fruits, including blackberry and plum, complemented by subtle herbal notes and a hint of spice that adds complexity. The tannins are notable yet refined, providing a structured mouthfeel without overwhelming the senses. The wine's finish is smooth and lingering, making it an ideal choice for a variety of pairings, from grilled meats to hearty pasta dishes. Enjoy this food-friendly wine that reflects both the artistry of the winemaker and the rich heritage of the Saint-Joseph region.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
