Pierre Gonon is one of the most important producers in all of Saint-Joseph, as his strong advocacy for non-interventionist farming has made waves across the appellation. ‘Les Oliviers’ is regarded as the greatest place for producing white wine in Saint-Joseph. Fruit is whole cluster pressed and naturally fermented in cask, followed by 11 months of aging on regularly stirred fine lees in a combination of barrique and demi-muid.
‘Les Oliviers’ is regarded as the greatest place for producing white wine in Saint-Joseph, and Gonon’s expression is a benchmark in itself. Rich and complex notes of honeyed stone fruit, citrus, grilled tropical fruits, white flowers, and cream dominate the wine’s luscious and well-balanced palate. Sip with roasted root vegetables for an out-of-this-world pairing.
