{"product_id":"pierre-jean-villa-tilde-saint-joseph-2022-750ml","title":"Pierre Jean Villa St. Joseph Tildé 2022 (750ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the old vine cuvée made from four parcels planted in 1963, 64, 65, and 1970 in the very center of the St Joe appellation in the commune of Sarras. The four parcels grow close to one another at roughly 300 meters in altitude, high on the hillside. Total vineyard surface is one hectare, or 2.5 acres growing in sandy soils on top of a mother rock of pure granite. Depending on the year, some is declassified into Préface. Like its sibling, this is made in a mixture of large and small barrels, but here the élevage goes for up to 24 months. In addition, ferments are always done with a portion of stems, and since vintage 2016 that figure has been for at least 60% whole cluster in the ferments.Pierre Jean’s father came from Spain, and the word Tildé refers to the Spanish accent mark ˜ which forms the logo on Pierre Jean’s labels. In the old dialect of Occitane, Tildé refers to an inscription, a stamp or seal put upon an object, and this cuvée could well bear the seal of the domain. Average annual production is 3,000 bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eComing from older vines and only partially destemmed, the 2019 Saint Joseph Tilde spent two years in a mix of barrels and 500-liter demi-muids before being bottled. It's another incredibly pure, balanced, polished wine from this terrific vigneron that offers classic Saint-Joseph black fruits, scorched earth, peppery herbs, and subtle smoky aromatics, medium to full body, terrific tannins, and a great finish. It's drinking brilliantly today and shows the ripe, powerful style of the vintage while also holding onto remarkable purity and freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pierre Jean Villa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48579430285536,"sku":"131331","price":68.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/pierre-jean-villa-tilde-saint-joseph_1.jpg?v=1769120893","url":"https:\/\/yianniswinery.com\/products\/pierre-jean-villa-tilde-saint-joseph-2022-750ml","provider":"Yiannis Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
