The 2022 Roussanne from Jean-Baptiste Souillard is a refined, small-batch gem from the northern Rhône, showing off this often-overlooked white grape in all its textured, aromatic glory. Grown on steep granite and schist slopes in Saint-Péray, this Roussanne benefits from altitude, poor soils and meticulous organic farming—hallmarks of Souillard’s minimalist, terroir-driven approach. He’s a micro-négociant with a cult following, bottling just a few thousand bottles a year, with laser focus on purity and precision.
The 2022 vintage was warm but well-balanced, giving ripe fruit with excellent acidity. Expect golden pear, almond blossom, honeyed citrus and a whiff of herbal lift. The mouthfeel is rich yet poised, with a stony, savoury finish.
It’s a brilliant food wine—pair it with roast guinea fowl, creamy polenta, or a cheese tart with Gruyère and thyme. Complex, elegant, and proof that Rhône whites deserve the spotlight.
