Information
Established at the end of the 19th century, Domaine Coursodon has been in the same family for generations and has practised sustainable farming for several decades. Its 15 hectares of vineyards, all within the Saint-Joseph appellation, are cultivated for both red and white Saint-Joseph wines (13 hectares red and 2 hectares white). Located primarily in the Mauves area, the vineyard's granite terroir is ideal for growing Syrah. Pierre Coursodon and his son Jérôme currently manage the property and produce delicate and elegant wines.
Sensonne is a single-variety Syrah wine cultivated in shallow, very granite-rich soils with a southerly exposure on steep slopes. The grapes are harvested manually, macerating and fermenting in open vats for 18 days. There are two daily punch-downs during these stages. The wine is then matured on lees, exclusively in new barrique barrels. Tasting reveals a very gentle yet powerful wine with real elegance. It features a very ripe, spicy fruitiness and a particularly dense substance that goes perfectly with a leg of lamb. Should be kept for at least ten years and opened one hour before serving.
