"A Saint-Joseph that leaves its mark".
Elegantly dressed in a dark ruby, this Saint-Joseph lives up to its name and will leave a lasting impression with its crisp, spicy aromas. The Syrah is remarkable, and perfectly represents the typicality of this grape variety in the Northern Rhône Valley.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Vin noté (guide 2025) 93/100 (Millésime 2022)
Noted domain 5*Stars (Exceptional producers, those who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and around the world)
About the domain :
Emma Amsellem has joined her mother Christine Vernay to develop the rugged hillsides of Condrieu and Côte Rôtie, lands drenched in sunshine when frost doesn't interfere, as in 2021, a vintage Emma is not about to forget since she had just returned to the domaine. Beyond the vagaries of the weather, the year was a great success for the whites, with saline expressions well in place. A vintage in which we find all the splendor of the Vernon hillside.

Graded area (2024 guide) 3*Stars (They represent the excellence of French winegrowing. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical moment)
About the domain :
Christine Vernay, who brilliantly took over the reins of this emblematic Condrieu estate in 1996, is slowly handing over to her daughter, Emma Amsellem. While the estate is intimately linked to the history of the Condrieu appellation, of which it is still the most brilliant representative, it also offers a remarkable selection of reds whose maturation has been refined in recent years. Tasting a decade-old Condrieu cuvée here reveals the potential of this terroir, too often overwhelmed by the varietal notes of Viognier. The energy and potential contained in the estate's wines set a benchmark.
