E. Guigal’s Saint-Joseph is a superb introduction to the noble Syrah of the northern Rhône. Aromas of black fruit, cured meat, and cracked pepper unfold on a full-bodied palate framed by refined tannins. Aged in oak for polish, it balances dark intensity with freshness and precision. The finish lingers with spice and minerality, making it an ideal companion for grilled lamb, beef stew, or roasted root vegetables.
