This ‘St Joseph Rouge’ is produced by the Gonon brothers, Pierre and Jean, who have earned a reputation for producing some of the most impressive and sought-after wines in the Northern Rhône. They typically exhibit purity of fruit, balanced structure and a distinct sense of place.

The Gonon’s are firmly entrenched in the top handful of names in the Rhone Valley these days due to their diligent, manual organic vineyard work, rows ploughed by their trusty plough horse Samson, to their meticulous work in the winery and careful aging in seasoned barrels of various formats - from 100 year old Foudres to demi-muids to Burgundian Pieces.
