Joseph and Onésime, Benoît's two grandfathers, are honored with this cuvée, a tribute to them. This Pic Saint Loup classic perfectly represents the elegance and typicity of this exceptional soil. Joseph Onésime has a deep ruby color with purple nuances. The nose is intensely aromatic, revealing ripe red fruits such as cherry and raspberry, accompanied by subtle notes of plum. On the palate, it is both round and fresh, offering a rich aromatic palette with juicy red fruit flavors. The tannins are present but mellow, providing good structure, while the finish reveals a delicate touch of mellow woodiness, reminiscent of sweet oak and vanilla. The ideal serving temperature is 15°C, and it is recommended to decant for 2 hours before tasting. This wine goes wonderfully well with a lamb pot-au-feu, a duck duo, or a sliced foie gras sautéed with mushrooms. It can be kept in the cellar for 5 to 8 years.
