Robert Parker
"Of the two Saint-Joseph cuvées, Passion de Terrasses is the smaller production, with just under 6000 bottles produced. It's a fragrant, floral Syrah with good minerality, lots of plum, violet and peppery aromas, with medium-bodied, rich depth on the palate. This is a quality wine, remarkable even, showing more density and fruit than many wines in this vintage." (Wine Advocate 2015 - Robert Parker)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2019 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
We often prefer reds to whites, which are often heavy and lack freshness.
