history
The vineyard is owned by two brothers: Eric and Joël . Their vineyards cover 13 ha (8 ha of Saint Joseph and 5 ha of Cornas). They took over the family estate and started bottling our wine in 1991. They work hard to ensure their harvests will be fully expressive of the terroir. They love wines that have personality but are still fine and elegant.
Vineyard
In the south of the St Joseph appellation area. The vines are planted on steep hills facing south-south-west. Granite soils. Vines : 15 to 25 years old - 7ha - Yield : 38 hl/ha
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested when their balance is at its best. Fermentation starts after destemming and cold maceration for 4 days at 8°C. The cap is punched every day by hand.

2022
The 2022 Saint Joseph Expression has outstanding potential and brings lots of fruit as well as some classic Saint Joseph minerality. Red plums, black raspberries, crushed stone, pepper, and bouquet garni notes define the aromatics, and it's medium-bodied and textured, with ripe tannins.
