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)

About the domain :

We often prefer reds to whites, which are often heavy and lack freshness.

About the wine:

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. Made from 60-year-old vines and aged 20% in new barrels, it beautifully displays the character of the vintage and should keep until 2023.
