Domaine Boissonnet
Domaine Boissonnet operates in Saint-Joseph, the Northern Rhône's elegant appellation for Syrah-based reds and aromatic white wines. The winery produces Viognier across two expressions: a varietal bottling and a Condrieu, the latter from the prestigious white-wine enclave just north of Saint-Joseph. The flagship red, Emisphere Saint-Joseph Rouge, centers on Syrah, the region's defining grape. Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate have rated the portfolio, with the Viognier reaching 91 points and the Emisphere at 90 points. The Northern Rhône demands precision and restraint; these wines reflect that discipline—structured reds with mineral depth and whites marked by stone fruit and floral intensity rather than obvious ripeness.
