Tasting notes
Christine Vernay is rightly recognised as one of the Northern Rhône's most gifted wine-makers and is gaining increasing recognition for her red wines as well as her celebrated Condrieu.
Her evocatively named, red 'Terres d'Encre' Saint-Joseph wine emanates from 3 parcels of vines on the terraces of Chavanay. It is a wine that stands up well to simple grills and would repay 3 to 5 years bottle age.
Expert Ratings
James Suckling 92 Points
"A velvety, fresh and chiseled Saint-Joseph. Notes of forest berries, roasted meat and black pepper on the nose follow through to a medium body with fine tannin and bright acidity. Playful and vivid with a transparent character. Juicy crushed cherries and violets at the center and a refreshing finish. From biodynamically grown grapes."
