Presentation of Domaine Aléofane, St Joseph 2018 - Red

The St Joseph from Domaine Aléofane is a beautiful, refined wine not to be missed. Working with Syrah in all its complexity and richness of flavors, Natacha Chave offers us here an elegant and complex St Joseph . The nose reveals a bouquet of aromas of ripe black fruits, some notes of spices and garrigue. On the palate it is warm, with present tannins which structure the wine. Drink immediately if you like powerful, tannic wines or leave to age in the cellar to discover secondary aromas with finesse.

History of the Estate

Domaine Aléofane is a small estate created in 2007 by Natacha Chave , a talented winegrower and winemaker. Working the vines in organic farming, Natacha Chave also uses biodynamic preparations to stimulate and strengthen the earth. Winemaking is based on the same principles, with little intervention, of native yeasts to obtain wines that express their true nature. Domaine Aléofane offers us bright, delicate and fine wines. Their St Joseph and Crozes Hermitage vintages stand out from what is usually done in the region with fresh and delicious wines. This area, which was still confidential a few years ago, delights amateurs and the specialized press more and more each year.
