"One of the estate's greatest sources of pride"
“The Saint Joseph Paradis Saint Pierre 2023 comes from old vines and offers a ruby/plum hue, along with a more mineral and fresher style in its darker aromas and flavors of blueberries, violets, black pepper, and bouquet garni. Concentrated, medium-bodied to full-bodied, ripe, and with a brilliant texture, it will benefit from a short period of cellaring.” (Jeb Dunnuck 2025). A cuvée named among Jeb Dunnuck’s Top 100 Wines of 2025.

Eye
Deep, brilliant purple color
Nose
Elegant aromas of red berries and spices.
Palate
Full-bodied, concentrated, highly complex, with abundant tannins. With time, this wine will undoubtedly improve (6 to 10 years). A perfect marriage of terroir and grape variety, resulting in a wine with wild, spicy notes and hints of black olives—a wine that perfectly embodies the character of the Saint-Joseph appellation.

Rated estate (2024 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the estate:
Jérôme Coursodon heads one of the renowned estates in Mauves. The Saint-Joseph wines from this part of the appellation (Mauves-Tournon) differ from those further north, around Sarras, even though they are all produced on granitic soils. The estate’s reds are often more fully developed than the whites.

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
The Coursodon family has been in the wine business since the late 19th century. The estate owns vineyards in the renowned regions of Mauves, Tournon, Saint-Jean-de-Muzol, and Glun. The whites display a lovely character, without excessive oak. As for the reds, L’Olivaie comes from the heart of Sainte-Épine, in the village of Saint-Jean-de-Muzols. However, we found the most recent vintages to be overly showy, with very pronounced oak notes. The result is wines that are not always easy to drink. We regret having to deduct one star from the estate’s rating.

About the wine:
A delicious red wine with aromas and flavors of wild berries, red currants, and wild herbs. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins, a velvety texture, and lush fruit. A lively hint of spice adds vibrancy and freshness to the finish. Enjoy now or save for later.
