2016 Saint Joseph Rouge “Vieilles Vignes”

Lionel Faury
Discount Eligible $45.00
SOLD OUT

This old-vines cuvée is our own unfiltered blend from Faury’s old hillside vines. Think old-school Saint Joseph. Think Trollat. A lot of bottlings of Côte Rôtie and Hermitage will be humbled by this beauty.
      Dense, dark, deep, complex, and characterful, this red is one to follow over a few years if you can. There is a core of cassis or black currant fruit and smoky bacon fat. The wine ain’t heavy, but it sure is fun to gnaw on.

Terroirs

Great winemakers, great terroirs, there is never any hurry. And I no longer buy into this idea of “peak” maturity. Great winemakers, great terroirs, their wines offer different pleasures at different ages.
