2022 Saint-Joseph Rouge “Cuvée 1907”

Domaine Jolivet
Discount Eligible $75.00
AT CART MAX

As with any long relationship, the nearly 120 years that Bastien Jolivet’s small plot of Syrah vines have spent drawing sustenance deep from the granite soils of Saint-Joseph have left a steely stamp on his Cuvée 1907. It’s elegant and profoundly mineral, each sip filled with graphite, cocoa-coated almonds, and inky dark fruit. Open tonight, and its aromas of violets, camphor, and cracked pepper will captivate, but if you choose to wait, its freshness and tannic backbone will ensure a long life in your cellar.

Where the newsletter started

Every three or four months I would send my clients a cheaply made list of my inventory, but it began to dawn on me that business did not pick up afterwards. It occurred to me that my clientele might not know what Château Grillet is, either. One month in 1974 I had an especially esoteric collection of wines arriving, so I decided to put a short explanation about each wine into my price list, to try and let my clients know what to expect when they uncorked a bottle. The day after I mailed that brochure, people showed up at the shop, and that is how these little propaganda pieces for fine wine were born.—Kermit Lynch
