RVF
Hédonism is more about freshness and fruit, making this a St Jospeh that's accessible in its youth. With notes of black and red fruit on both the nose and palate, accompanied by a touch of Morello cherry in brandy, this is a fine Saint Joseph. An immediate pleasure. Limited quantities available.

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated 14.5/20 (Vintage 2017) (Good wine)
Domain rated (guide 2021) Selected (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the domains that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
The estate is located in Chavanay, in the hamlet of La Ribaudy, birthplace of the Faury family. Lionel Faury cultivates 18 hectares of Condrieu, Saint-Joseph, Côte-Rôtie and Collines rhodaniennes IGP appellations. We've particularly enjoyed the Saint-Josephs in recent vintages, which prove that the northern part of the appellation has real potential.
