"... tolle, reife, süße Frucht, feine Sandelholznoten, Tabak, mineralisch, feines Gesteinsmehl, Cassis, Brombeere, Schoko, tolle Süße auch am Gaumen, Balance und große Finesse." (2023)

Der La Joie 2017 ist eine Assemblage aus 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc, 10% Merlot und 4% Petit Verdot und hat eine sehr tiefe rubin-violette Farbe. Das Bouquet ist geprägt von Crème de Cassis, Zedernholz und Tabak. Diese Aromen wiederholen sich am Gaumen, wo noch weitere Nuancen hinzukommen: Der Wein präsentiert komplexe Aromen von Zwetschgen, schwarzer Johannisbeermarmelade, frisch gemahlenem Kaffee und schwarzen Oliven mit Nuancen von Nelken. Diese opulenten, muskulösen Fruchtaromen finden ihre Balance in der hellen Säure und den griffigen und festen Tanninen. Der Abgang ist wunderbar mineralisch und sehr lang anhaltend. Schafft man es, diesen Wein noch ein paar Jahre ruhen zu lassen, wird man in den Genuss von einem noch größeren Meisterwerk kommen! Ein bemerkenswerter Wein, der anmutig reifen wird und Jeb Dunnuck volle 100 Punkte entlockte!

The 2017 La Joie is another gorgeous wine in this lineup. Deep, pliant and nuanced, the 2017 is impeccably balanced. Silky and plush, La Joie is especially refined in 2017, and that complements its mid-weight structure so nicely. Hints of rose petal, lavender, mint and blood orange add brightness. The 2017 is a stunning wine by any measure.

An elegant, complex red with currants, blackberries and hints of cedar, graphite and lead-pencil shavings. It’s full-bodied with polished, velvety tannins and a fresh, bright finish. Fluid and refined. 70% cabernet sauvignon 16% cabernet franc, 10% merlot and 4% petit verdot. (04/2021)

Tasting like a great bottle of Château Lafite, the 2017 La Joie is based largely on Cabernet Sauvignon and brought up, I suspect, in mostly new French oak. Deep ruby/purple, with a heavenly bouquet of crème de cassis, lead pencil, cedarwood, graphite, and tobacco, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, an incredible sense of elegance and purity, building tannins, and a great, great finish. This majestic, regal Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon is going to require a decade of cellaring to hit maturity (although it’s far from unapproachable today) and will see its 50th birthday in fine form. I followed this bottle for three days and it never showed a hint of oxidation. This is easily my wine of the vintage in 2017. (05/2020)

“The Cab Franc was quite spectacular in 2017. There is a bit more in the blend this year,” Pierre Seillan told me during the tasting of the 2017s with his daughter and one day successor, Helene. A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc, 10% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot, the 2017 La Joie has a very deep garnet-purple color. It opens a little closed and broody, giving glimpses of blackcurrant cordial, espresso, charcoal and black truffles to begin, before blossoming out to a whole array of preserved black and blue fruits, dusty soil, crushed rocks and iron ore scents plus a waft of roses. The medium to full-bodied palate is built like a brick house, with firm, grainy tannins and a lively backbone supporting the muscular fruit, finishing very long and mineral laced. The alcohol weighed in at just 13.9% this year (14% on the label), making for a particularly elegant but no less impactful La Joie! 2,500 cases were made.

So gut wie Petrus? Warum nicht besser?

Was passiert wohl, wenn ein großer Visionär und ein kompromissloser Qualitätsfanatiker beschließen, zusammen den besten Wein zu machen? Es kann zur Realität werden. Zur Wahrheit. Wir zu Vérité.
