Northern Rhône - Saint-Joseph
Domaine Pierre Gonon (Saint-Joseph)
A rising star? Not any more – Domaine Gonon is now considered one of the very best estates – if not THE best estate – in Saint-Joseph. Twenty years ago, that might have sounded like faint praise, but not anymore – it might be a large appellation, but there are exceptional pockets of terroir that winemakers like the Gonon brothers craft into stunning creations.
Their father Pierre was one of the first to bottle Saint-Joseph in 1964, and his sons Pierre and Jean now manage the estate after having joined him in the late 1980s. They now organically cultivate 10.5ha, principally close to the winery in Mauves, and also just north in Tournon and Saint-Jean-de-Muzols.
Their red Saint-Joseph is blended across these sites; their white Saint-Joseph from the lieu-dit Les Oliviers, which is famed for the quality of its Marsanne. They also make a thirst-quenching IGP Chasselas and a particularly fine IGP Syrah called Les Iles Féray. Their Saint-Joseph cuvée Vieilles Vignes, made from 1920s Syrah once owned by local legend Raymond Trollat, is a bona fide Rhône unicorn.
