From vines planted 1966 on granite soil at about 300 metres altitude near Tournon. De-stemmed and vinified gently and aged in 600L barrel. Only 1000 bottles made.
The nose is broad, chunky, reduced, has a keen line of blueberry fruit with licorice touches, some oaking. There’s a slight sense of extraction. The palate starts on bountiful, fleshy, firm content, delivers an open hand of black berry fruit, with slightly coarse tannin and their tar spots behind, meaning it finishes drily. The tannins are direct, sustained, and if they meld, all is well. The feel of exertion rather runs through it, so wait until spring 2019. 2027-29 Oct 2016

The 2015 Saint Joseph André Péleat comes all from the St Joseph lieu-dit located just outside of the village of Mauves. This wine offers lots of black raspberry and dark fruits, new saddle leather and garrigue in a full-bodied, rich, yet rounded and sweetly fruited style.
