Roche Paradis Saint Joseph La Madone 2023

100 % Syrah from La Madone, a small but spectacularly steep granite vineyard beside the medieval village of Malleval. From 70-year-old vines with a due-south aspect, fermented with 70 % whole bunches, then matured for 12 months in 1-, 2- and 3-year-old barriques. More fragrant yet also richer and more concentrated than Bergerie, it finishes long with seductive velvety tannins and that trademark freshness and finesse. Only 7 barrels produced.
