Domaine Pierre Gonon
The Gonon Saint-Joseph has become a hot commodity in recent vintages, with, unsurprisingly, higher and higher prices with the wine's increasing popularity. That said, such is the consistency and sheer quality of the wines that they still deliver great value. I’d happily pour it for comparison next to plenty of other northern Rhône bottlings that sell for two, three and even five times or more the price. The gregarious and frank Jean Gonon told me the 2016 reminds him a lot of the 2012 and 2014 vintage “but with more depth and intensity.” Like most of his neighbors, Gonon thinks it’s a vintage that will be deceptively long-lived but also approachable through most of its life “because the tannins are fine and integrated, not like a shell, which is the issue with 2015 and why those wines will need so much time.”
