Maison Brotte celebrates Rusticity and Honesty in this Saint-Joseph with a deep mauve color and raspberry rim. The nose offers up intense aromas of black fruit and pepper, underpinned by roasted notes. Its elegant tannins reveal notes of raspberries and blackcurrants with waves of spice on the finish. Tannic when young, it will require 2 to 3 years of cellar-ageing to fully develop its potential. Marandy: a tribute to the name and character of Maison Brotte's original Saint Joseph cuvée, which came from a lieu-dit of the same name (1970s). This delicate, fresh and fruity wine was already being produced and sold in the 16th century. At one time, Saint-Joseph, which was known as the "vin de Mauves", was much appreciated by the kings of France and by Victor Hugo who spoke highly of it in Les Misérables.
