2018 Saint Joseph Rouge

Lionel Faury
Discount Eligible $35.00
SOLD OUT

Today we may (quite rightly) look at Saint Joseph as a rare and fine delicacy. Not long ago, however, most vineyards were sadly in disrepair, the glory of past centuries forgotten, with vines abandoned for fruit trees which sold for much more than the local wine. In fact, during the 1950s most Saint Joseph never saw the inside of a bottle, as full barrels tended to end up in the watering holes that surrounded the local mines. The Faury family was among the first to return to estate bottling and focus on the full potential of this incredible, one-of-a-kind terroir. These days, with the appellation’s glory reclaimed, each bottle of Faury carries the signature of pepper, spice, and fresh, bright black fruit.

Vintage Chart

Trust the great winemakers, trust the great vineyards. Your wine merchant might even be trustworthy. In the long run, that vintage strip may be the least important guide to quality on your bottle of wine.—Kermit Lynch
