Domaine Coursodon


Domaine Coursodon has long been one of the leading St Joseph wine estates. The youthful but intelligent Jérôme Coursodon is keen to emphasise the individuality and personality of this appellation which is credited with producing Syrah which approaches Pinot Noir in its silky texture and refinement.

Jérome Coursodon's St. Joseph is sourced from vines over 50 years old high on the western slopes surrounding Mauves. Across the mighty Rhône and with a completely different geological make-up, St Joseph yields wines which are, unsurprisingly, stylistically removed from the gravitas of the hill of Hermitage. The best growers acknowledge this and major in elegance, aromatics and poise on the palate.

Jérome Coursodon fully subscribes to such attributes. The old vines yield only 25 hectoliters per hectare and by making use of open-top fermenters and avoiding too much wood at the maturation stage, he crafts wines with class and perfect balance. 75-80% of the wine is aged in new oak barrels on their lees for one year. Little to no sulphur is used, and the wines are bottled without fining and filtering.
