A limited production cuvee, the 2006 St.-Joseph Le Paradis St.-Pierre is fashioned from the estate’s oldest vines (80 years), and sees about 5% new oak. It boasts a dense purple hue followed by a beautiful perfume of sweet red and black fruits, spring flowers, subtle tapenade, and licorice. As it sits in the glass, a peppery, floral component also appears. Enjoy it over the next 10-15 years. A Patrick Lesec Selection, agent for the US market: Chemin des Vins, Sherborn, MA; tel.
