2018 Domaine Georges Vernay Saint-Joseph La Dame Brune 750ml

Experience the soulful elegance of the Northern Rhône with the 2018 Domaine Georges Vernay Saint-Joseph "La Dame Brune" 750ml at VS Liquor. While the Vernay family is legendary for saving the Condrieu appellation, their mastery of Syrah is equally profound. "La Dame Brune" is a tribute to the "Brown Lady" of the steep, terraced granite slopes of Saint-Joseph. Sourced from organic vines that are over 50 years old, this wine reflects the intense labor of hillside viticulture where every vine must be tended by hand. The 2018 vintage was a warm, generous year that provided the Syrah fruit with remarkable plushness, balanced perfectly by the signature mineral "granite-streak" that Vernay is known for. Aged for 24 months in French oak (30% new), this is a Saint-Joseph that rivals many Côte-Rôties in complexity and aging potential.

On the palate, it is full-bodied and sleek, delivering a dense core of dark fruit framed by ripe, fine-grained tannins and a persistent, stony finish.
