The wine is dense and beefy, with a good deal of brooding, rich fruit and great concentration. Domaine du Joncier is a hidden gem of a property from an up-and-coming village in the Rhône Valley. The Domaine has been run by the charming Marine Roussell for the last twenty years. A classic match for a Sunday roast.
In The Press:
"...The deep colour and berryish character of this luscious example could have been made for the rich, yet subtle textures and flavours of lamb - a sensual wine for an indulgent feast...Here the Domaine's owner, Marine Roussel, has created an artful balance of grenache, syrah and mourvedre that offers a depth and richness it would be hard to find in a wine made from just one variety.
