Description
From a very steep 1.5 hectare site from within the confines of the historic appellation. As I found with many of the Jaboulet reds in 2020, there is defining freshness that is testament to the skill of the winemaker and the decision to harvest early. There is a wonderful granitic minerality behind the core of velvety blackberry notes and a lovely olive tapenade character with just a touch of cured meats and truffle – concentrated but not overbearing. A testament to the value that Saint-Joseph continues to offer.

Critics reviews
Ripe and dense with a purity of fruit but some sweetness too. Tight and structured, the tannins solid and firm. Glow of alcohol on the finish. Big and powerful. Needs some time.
Drink 2024 - 2032
From a two-hectare vineyard parcel in Tournon, the 2020 Saint Joseph Domaine de la Croix des Vignes delivers notes of crushed stone and cassis marked by hints of espresso and dark chocolate. Medium to full-bodied, it's silky and fine, showing a pleasing level of elegance.
Drink 2023 - 2033
Fragrant notes of blue and purple flowers with vibrant bramble fruit and hints of fig. Full-bodied with fine-grained tannins. Lovely texture and minerality at the end. From organically grown grapes.
