Domaine Pierre Gonon

While it’s been great to watch the wine world lavish well-deserved attention, even adoration, on the work of brothers Pierre and Jean Gonon, it’s also bittersweet, as prices for their wines have ascended to the highest level of the appellation. A number of top-notch bottlings from historically more prestigious Cornas, Côte-Rôtie and Hermitage command lower prices and are more readily available. On top of that, Gonon’s Saint-Joseph has become an iconic wine of the northern Rhône. The wine creates a paradigm shift for its appellation. What should be the price for the most in-demand, not to mention scarce wine of a highly regarded appellation in a world-renowned region? All that aside, there’s no question that Gonon’s 2016s are world-class wines and the Saint-Joseph is a standout for the region in this outstanding vintage. It’s a wonderful example of just how graceful Syrah can be in the right hands and from a great terroir. All things considered, it’s still a very good buy.
