Guigal - Saint-Joseph - Rouge 2007

The Saint-Joseph 2007 is an irresistible indulgence. Respecting the House method, the fruit was nourished by the very long wood aging. This long polishing off period produces a distinguished, beautiful product that is ready to drink

Powerful nose dominated by red fruit and delicate oak aromas

Powerful entry on the palate. The tannins are rather smooth and supple.

Enjoy up to and including 2017
