Domaine des Pierres Sèches Sylvain Gauthier Saint-Joseph Roussanne 2020
Winemaker Sylvain Gauthier of Domaine des Pierres Sèches is one artisan who already has found more than solid footing here in the Saint-Joseph appellation. He started his micro-domaine in 2007, the name “pierres sèches” inspired by the many hand-built stone walls that support vineyard terraces in the region. A juicy, floral, energetic white from 100% Roussanne grapes, sunny and suave and silky at once.

Some mandarin orange, key lime, and melon. Vanilla and lily flower too. Broad and a touch ripe though some really good minerals and interesting bitterness on the finish. Aromas exponential with time.

Broad, creamy with salted blossoms, this spreads out on the palate like a fan. Joyous. Minerals for days. Yeasty, juicy, saline and savory. Hits the spot exactly. Bottle says “Pure Roussanne”

2020 vintage. Medium body. Pleasantly oily without being unctuous. Oodles of stone fruit and citrus with that anticipated and desired mineral underbelly. Finishes lighter and cleaner on the end palate than the experience thru the start, then mid-palate. Butcher’s prep. Mostly lean but just enough fat to stick with this cut consistently. In a word-revelatory. 4.10.24.
