Description

Le Paradis Saint-Pierre est un nectar tout en finesse et en élégance. C'est une des fiertés du Domaine Coursodon. Sa robe est pourpre, profonde et brillante. Au nez d'intenses notes de fruits rouges, d'olives noires et d'épices nous parviennent. Sa bouche est charnue, complexe, concentrée et les tanins abondants. Voilà donc un parfait exemple du mariage entre le cépage et le terroir qui exprime ici la grande typicité de l'appellation. Ce vin demande quelques années pour s’épanouir et se bonifier.

Food and wine pairings

Les vignes plantées sur de raides coteaux, terroir très granitique, profitent d'une exposition plein sud. Vendange en vert à la véraison afin de limiter les rendements. Aucune mécanisation possible, c'est pourquoi tous les travaux viticoles sont manuels. Enfin transport de la vendange entière en comportes de 40 kg jusqu'aux chais où un premier tri est effectué.

Tri sur table à la réception puis égrappage de la vendange. Ensuite macération et fermentation en cuve ouverte pendant 21 à 25 jours avec 2 à 3 pigeages journaliers. Recherche d’une grande extraction des tanins et de la couleur. L'élevage se fait en deux parties, d'abord 12 mois en pièces et demi-muids suivi de 6 mois dans une cuve ovoïde horizontale en béton.

Coursodon

A fifth-generation winemaker, Jérôme joined his father Pierre at the estate in 1998. By crafting fine and elegant wines, he has left his mark on the Domaine and likes to say that "it's the sum of the small details that makes the difference." This philosophy guides every vintage of Domaine Coursodon, whose wines are now recognized as among the finest in the Saint-Joseph appellation. They owe this recognition in particular to the constant pursuit of excellence that has driven all generations of the Coursodon family. The Domaine's vineyards (16 hectares, including 13.5 hectares of red wines and 2.5 hectares of white wines) are primarily located in Mauves, the birthplace of Saint-Joseph, on granitic soil, a terroir ideal for Syrah. A few parcels are also spread across the surrounding villages.

Northern Rhône Valley

The Rhône Valley is one of France's major wine regions, renowned for its many iconic appellations. It stretches along the Rhône River, between Vienne and Avignon, and is divided into two distinct parts: the north and the south. The northern part is smaller and dominated by Syrah for red wines and Viognier for white wines.

The hillsides are steep, and the vines, planted in granite soils, give rise to elegant, intense, and spicy red wines, with a remarkable expression of Syrah. It is also the cradle of great white wines made from Viognier and Marsanne, renowned for their finesse and complexity.

The Rhône Valley is also marked by a long winemaking tradition and a strong commitment to respecting the terroir. Many winegrowers there now practice sustainable viticulture.

What is a natural wine?

What is a natural wine?

A natural wine is made from organic or biodynamic grapes, harvested by hand and vinified without chemical inputs. No yeast or additives are used, and sulfur is very limited. The wine thus fully reflects the terroir and the winemaker's work.
