Saint-Joseph sprawls: some fifty kilometers of riverbank, and plenty of it flat and forgettable. The good stuff comes off granite, and Stephane Ogier goes and gets it. "Le Passage" is Syrah from steep granite slopes around Malleval, Limony and Saint-Pierre-de-Boeuf, hand-harvested, fermented with native yeasts, then aged twelve months in barrel, just ten percent of it new, so the wood never announces itself. Ogier is a Cote-Rotie man by trade, and it shows here: violets, black cherry, cracked pepper, and a savory granite grip running underneath. Silky rather than muscular, structured rather than heavy. Decant it now, or leave it alone for a few years and be rewarded.

"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."
