Domaine Francois Villard, Saint Joseph Rouge "Poivre et Sol"
11 days of maceration in open wood and stainless steel tank. Matured 14 months in old oak barrels (3-6 years old). Blend of black fruits and spices, superbly balanced. On the palate, we find suppleness, tannic structure, and a fair acidity. It has aromas of sweet pepper in the middle of the mouth. This cuvée deserves its name. Pairs well with Rougaille sausage, lamb, tournedos (beef tenderloin).
