2024 Saint-Joseph Blanc “Les Ribaudes”

Lionel Faury

Most French people can’t seem to agree on precisely where “southern France” begins, though the imaginary border is usually drawn loosely around Lyon, famously referred to as the stomach of France for its central location and incredible culinary heritage. Saint-Joseph lies just below Lyon, so technically at the start of southern France, though it is an area of transition, culturally and physically, where north meets south. This is perhaps best reflected in Faury’s blanc, where the sunnier south shines through with warm, rich flavors of honeysuckle and hazelnut, while a distinctly northern, buttoned-up tension comes through with an herbal perfume and a touch of beeswax. There is plenty of flesh for lovers of southern wines, with cool complexity and elegance to appeal to Burgundy enthusiasts. Pair it with a paella by the sea, or a robust cheese in a colder clime, whichever direction your pleasure tends.

Living wines have ups and downs just as people do, periods of glory and dog days, too. If wine did not remind me of real life, I would not care about it so much.
