Situated on the right bank of the Rhône, the Saint Joseph appellation stretches for almost 60 kilometers from north to south, between Chavanay and Guilherand-Granges, opposite Valence. Its AOC decree, published in 1956, covered just six communes at the time. Revised twice, it now covers 1415 hectares of vines, planted in 23 communes in the Ardèche and Loire departments.

This wine has a pronounced golden color. The nose is fresh, slightly oaky but well-integrated, with pleasant aromas of chestnut honey, hazelnut, pear and eucalyptus. Juicy and ripe on the palate, with notes of peach, caramelized apricot and flowers. The barrel ageing still brings some slightly drying tannins, but these will fade with time. The pastry finish, between vanilla and fleur de sel, combined with pretty bitters, concludes the whole with substance and tension. A luminous wine.

A wine with a beautiful light.
A wine that takes us back to our grandfather's armchair, smelling of leather, blond tobacco, pepper and fig chutney. on the palate, it's very dynamic, with lovely black fruit juiciness and vivacity.

Les Serines du Lay 2023 - Domaine Romain d'Aniello
The nose evokes a warm breakfast with milk chocolate, toast and blackberry jam. Some pepper aromas titillate the nostrils and taste buds. A bouquet of flowers and eucalyptus envelop fresh fruit and vanilla for a racy wine combining vivacity and energy. The tannins, still young, hold back this pretty wine, which purrs and begs to roar. drink within a year or after two hours' decanting.
The nose is typical of Northern Rhône Syrahs, with aromas of blackcurrant, violet and graphite, enhanced by hints of balsamic and pepper. The wine retains a lovely tension tasting, enabling it to strike the ideal balance between drinkability and power. It's concentrated yet harmonious, sweet yet fresh. Don't hesitate to cellar it for a few more years.
