"Fleshy and floral, the 2022 Saint-Joseph Le Passage enters the stage with dried meat, crushed violet, black cherry and hints of cedar wood. Structured around ripe tannins, the medium- to full-bodied 2022 is a savory, concentrated Saint-Joseph that will benefit from one more year in a cool cellar." -Nicolas Greinacher

"Matured for one year in barrels, the 2022 Saint-Joseph Le Passage soars from the glass with aromas of mulberries, violets, dark berries and spices intertwined with a delicate, lovely reduction. Moderately weighted, supple and elegant, it has a juicy core of fruit, velvety tannins and an enrobing texture, typical of Ogier's style, concluding with a long, fine-grained and ethereal finish. Entirely destemmed, it should age gracefully over the next 8 to 10 years."
