"The deep straw-colored Saint-Joseph Blanc Le Paradis Saint-Pierre 2023 features intense notes of honeysuckle, lemon flesh, vanilla, Williams pear and wet stone in its complex aromatic profile. Full-bodied, juicy and concentrated, the radiant 2023 is a splendid follow-up to the equally seductive 2022." (Vinous 2024)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Graded area (2024 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that sets the standard in its sector)
About the domain :
Jérôme Coursodon is at the head of one of the most renowned estates in Mauves. Saint Joseph wines from this part of the appellation (Mauves-Tournon) are different from those further north, around Sarras, although all are produced on granitic soils. The estate's reds are often more accomplished than the whites.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated domain (2022 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
The Coursodon family has been winegrowers since the late 19th century. The estate owns vines in the renowned areas of Mauves, Tournon, Saint-Jean-de-Muzol and Glun. The whites are full-bodied, without excessive wood. For reds, L'Olivaie comes from the heart of Sainte-Épine, in the village of Saint-Jean-de-Muzols. However, recent vintages have been very demonstrative, with very pronounced oaky notes. The result is wines that are not always easy to digest. We regret that we have to withdraw one star from the domaine.
