2018 Saint Joseph Rouge “Vieilles Vignes”

Lionel Faury
Discount Eligible $48.00
SOLD OUT

The general rule of thumb is that Côte-Rôtie ranks higher than Saint Joseph in the northern Rhône hierarchy, but Lionel’s Vieilles Vignes throws a wrench into that line of thinking. Made from vines planted between 1937 and 1976, this cuvée showcases impressive depth and soul.

Kermit inspecting wine barrels

For the wines that I buy I insist that the winemaker leave them whole, intact. I go into the cellars now and select specific barrels or cuvées, and I request that they be bottled without stripping them with filters or other devices. This means that many of our wines will arrive with a smudge of sediment and will throw a more important deposit as time goes by, It also means the wine will taste better.
