Rated estate (2024 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
Jérôme Coursodon is at the helm of one of Mauves' renowned estates. The Saint-Joseph wines from this part of the appellation (Mauves-Tournon) are different from those further north, around Sarras, even though they are all produced on granite soils. The estate's reds are often more accomplished than the whites.

Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good-quality wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
The Coursodon family has been producing wine since the late 19th century. The estate owns vineyards in the renowned areas of Mauves, Tournon, Saint-Jean-de-Muzol, and Glun. The white wines display a beautiful personality, without excessive oak. The red wine, L'Olivaie, comes from the heart of Sainte-Épine, in the village of Saint-Jean-de-Muzols. However, we found the latest vintages to be very demonstrative, with very pronounced woodiness. The result is wines that are not always very easy to drink. We regretfully have to deduct one star from the estate.
