93pts Jeb Dunnuck
This cuvée always delivers, and the base 2019 Saint Joseph is solid. Cassis, graphite, and some floral notes show on the nose, and it's medium to full-bodied, has plenty of oomph, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It should certainly be an outstanding wine and evolve for 10-12 years.
93pts Vinous
Dark, brilliant ruby. Pungent black raspberry and cherry aromas are complemented by floral, olive and baking spice nuances. Smooth and expansive on the palate, offering spice-tinged red and blue fruit preserve, licorice and allspice flavors that show fine delineation and mineral lift. Juicy and subtly chewy in texture, finishing with resonating blue fruit and spice character; tannins slowly emerge.
91pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Guigal's 2019 Saint-Joseph shows the bottling's characteristic granitic austerity and restraint, allied to notes of crushed stone and cassis. It's medium to full-bodied, smooth and polished, with a silky feel to the finish.
90pts Wine Spectator
Juicy and direct, with an open-knit core of bitter plum and red cherry notes laced with singed balsam wood, red tea and savory accents. Drink now through 2028. 10,000 cases made, 750 cases imported.
Winemaker Notes
Deep ruby with magenta edges. Grilled plums and cherry compote aromas mix with exotic spices, cured olives, dried sage, and pencil lead. The savory palate shows umami and allspice, swirling around cherry preserves and wild-strawberry fruit leather. A full body with chewy tannins leads to a spice-tinged finish. A bold expression of the Northern Rhone, ready to enjoy today. Drink now–2030.
Winery Notes
Vintage after vintage, the Collection wines have become symbols which perfectly illustrate the family's ethos of supreme quality. Careful ageing, together with the meticulous attention paid every day by Marcel and Philippe Guigal to the selection and blending processes, bring to the fore the consistency and excellence of the great appellations of the Rhône Valley.
