From Vincent Boyer’s small family estate comes this rich, juicy southern Rhône red. Previously all his grapes supplied one of the most prestigious names in the valley. Now he proudly makes his own wine – ripe strawberry fruit wrapped in gentle spice.

Domaine Saint Michel is a small, family-run estate that for years has been supplying grapes to the mighty Chapoutier. One of the most prestigious names in the region, Chapoutier would snap up the whole vintage to add richness to their own Côtes du Rhône. When Vincent Boyer took over from his father, he dearly wanted to bottle his own. He knew it was more than good enough. Well, his property does lie close to top crus Rasteau, Vinsobres and Cairanne. It shares the same stony soils and arid climate as its neighbours, and produces, from 40 year old vineyards, small concentrated grapes, all the better for flavour and richness. Grenache, Syrah and Carignan combine in this tasty red. It is great on its own or with pasta with pesto or chops.
