St Joseph Les Royes Courbis 2023 is a Syrah red wine from the Northern Rhône. The Courbis family has a long history in the region, and this release comes from 1 of 3 of their most important, steep, granite-soiled parcels. It displays a profound nose of dark berries, blood orange and cracked black pepper. The palate is structured and deep, with fine, firm tannins that reflect the mineral-rich terroir of the site. It is a powerful expression that highlights the producer’s commitment to traditional, site-specific viticulture in the Northern Rhône.
