Intensity
This Saint-Joseph, bursting with fruit, is very enjoyable to drink when your and would pair beautifully with red meat.
More infoThis magnificent Saint-Joseph comes from young vines grown near Cornas on the hills of Sarras in Ardoix. The plot rests on soil that has all the characteristics of a granite terroir. Once the harvest has concluded, the grapes are entirely destemmed and undergo cold maceration for a few days before fermentation begins. In total, vinification takes place over three weeks. The wine is aged for three months in vats before it spends nine months in used oak barrels (from two to eight years old). The domain only produces between 5,000 and 8,000 bottles per vintage.
This elegant Saint-Joseph is full of fruit flavours and can be opened when young but also after spending 10 years in the cellar. A wine with a great personality that would go with a game and sauce dish or a beef roasted with thyme.

About the Producer Vincent Paris
Vincent Paris is an accomplished Rhône winemaker based at the southern end of the village of Cornas. In 1997, he inherited one hectare of vines from his grandfather marking the beginning of his success story. Ten years later, he acquired La Geynale, a very fine parcel from Robert Michel. Today, he tends ten hectares of vines, mostly in the Cornas appellation, along with some Saint Joseph and Vin de Pays. He cultivates his vines according to sustainable methods, as naturally as possible (without insecticides or chemical fertilisers). The incredible incline of his plots has inspired the names of his cuvées: Granit 30 and Granit 60. Vincent Paris crafts wines of wonderful purity, with luscious, generous fruit, bottles that can be enjoyed both in their youth and after long cellaring. One of many reasons his Cornas receive regular praise from professional critics. This discreet estate is slowly emerging from the shadows, and we encourage you to discover it!
