"In a word, Paradise!"
Paradis Saint-Pierre has an attractive golden color with brilliant highlights. On the nose, a hint of honey emerges, followed by a round, full-bodied palate, complemented by a sensation of freshness thanks to the minerality of the parent rock. The finish reveals roasted almond and hazelnut notes. A real marvel!

Saint-Joseph
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark 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.

Rated (guide 2025) 93/100 (Vintage 2022)
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers 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.
