Pierre Gonon is a benchmark estate in the Saint-Joseph appellation of the northern Rhône. It is known particularly for its gutsy, spicy red wine from the Syrah grape.
Pierre Gonon established his eponymous estate in 1988 and today, it remains family owned and operated. The 10 hectares (25 acres) of vineyards are situated on the best granite hillside sites at Tournon, Mauves and Saint-Jean-de-Muzols. These vineyards have been certified organic since 2004.
Critical Acclaim
96 Jeb Dunnuck
Coming from one of the top white wine producers in the Northern Rhône, the 2022 Saint Joseph Les Oliviers Blanc is a stunning effort offering loads of stone fruits, quince, honeysuckle, and golden apple notes. It's medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, and has a gorgeous sense of freshness paired with perfectly ripe fruit. This brilliant Saint Joseph Blanc will give a top Hermitage Blanc a run for its money. It should drink well for a decade or more.
94 Wine Advocate
A perfumed, delicate bouquet of white pear, acacia, flowers, honey and spices introduces the 2022 Saint Joseph les Oliviers Blanc, a medium to full-bodied, layered and textured white Saint-Joseph framed by a racy spine of acidity and a long, mouthwatering and ethereal finish. This is a real success.
92 Vinous
The 2022 Saint-Joseph Blanc Les Oliviers offers aromas of lemon zest, flint, jasmine, mirabelle plum, quince and melon. Medium-bodied with neat flavor concentration, the 2022 is framed by soft acidity and concludes with solid length on a sapid close.
