Sourced from the lieu-dit Saint-Joseph in Tournon, the 2020 Saint-Joseph Les Granits features scents of crushed stone, blueberry and cassis. A strongly granitic terroir, this site has yielded a full-bodied wine that's ripe and rich, almost velvety in texture, with a long, elegant finish.

The 2020 Saint Joseph Les Granits brings another level of richness and depth, with a darker, almost cooler edge to its black fruits, scorched earth, and graphite, with an Hermitage-like leather note. Full-bodied on the palate, it builds beautifully with air and has sweet tannins, a stacked mid-palate, no hard edges, and a great, great finish. I finished my note with a few expletives that I can’t post here, but suffice to say, I think this is an utterly magical Saint Joseph. It offers pleasure even today yet will have at least two decades of prime drinking. As always, this comes from the lieu-dit Saint Joseph, was destemmed, and the aging spanned 18 months in 20% new demi-muids and barrels.
