87/100
Robert Parker
"The Saint Joseph Terre de Granit 2013 offers intense aromas of earth, peppery herbs and black fruits, in a medium-bodied, precise, tight and slightly narrow style. Old vines of 60 years aged at 20% in new barrels, it nicely shows the character of the vintage and should keep until 2023." (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.
