2016 Saint-Joseph Muletiers, Domaine Vallet

Muletiers comes from 2 parcels of 50 year-old vines planted on pure granite soils. It aged for 14 months in oak barrels, of which 20% were new. Deep ruby- purple, aroma has dark fruit character with floral, sweetly spiced nuances. This is full, tightly concentrated and has good power, but has equal finesse and harmony. Middle- palate is juicy, the finish being fine and freshly tannic (for drinking 2020-2026+).
