Vincent Paris Saint Joseph Les Cotes 2023

$3799

Saint-Joseph's terraced granite slopes — "les côtes" — produce some of the most elegant Syrah in the Northern Rhône, and Vincent Paris is one of the appellation's most thoughtful interpreters. His work in Cornas has put him at the center of the new generation rewriting what Northern Rhône Syrah can be, and this Saint-Joseph carries the same DNA: fresh, energetic, dancing, with the nuance of great Pinot Noir. From steep terraces, hand-farmed, and bottled with restraint.

"The elegant 2023 Saint-Joseph Les Côtes introduces itself with a marked leafy streak, complemented by black cherry and graphite. Fresh violets add a floral perspective. Medium-bodied and refreshing, the 2023 provides vivid freshness and closes with moderate length on the uplifting finish. Although it is a fine effort, I have a clear preference for the more ambitious 2022." —Nicolas Greinacher

More about Vincent Paris

Vincent Paris has become quintessential Cornas to us in the same way a ribeye is the definitive steak. The wines are deeply satisfying, bone-in Syrahs of confidence and structure. They follow a perfect recipe of exceptional old-vine parcels, granite soils, and generations of passionate winemaking,

Of course, as any chef will tell you – it's one thing to have excellent ingredients and quite another to execute an authentic and delicious plate of food. Mastery takes time. Here at Flatiron some of our earliest experiences with Paris' wines did not always hold our attention. He has exemplary holdings – including his retired uncle Robert Michel's prized "La Geynale" – but the wines were often more good than great.

However, recent vintages deliver effortlessly. Each cuvée offers more than you hoped, yet exactly what you wanted.

Much like a thoughtful chef, his selections are designed with purpose in mind – the younger vine cuvées are generous and joyous (a mood in which you will share, given the more than reasonable price tag), while the more serious bottlings pull you deeper into the terroir, exposing the mystique of purity and pedigree.
