"In a word, paradise!"
“With aromas worthy of a white Hermitage—quince, brioche, honeyed mint, and spices—the 2024 Saint-Joseph Paradis Saint-Pierre Blanc reaches a new level: balanced and medium-bodied, it offers lovely concentration and well-integrated acidity. Made from 90% Marsanne and 10% Roussanne, and aged for 12 months in barrels (with weekly stirring), this brilliant wine will fully come into its own over the next 7 to 8 years, or even longer if you wish.” (Jeb Dunnuck 2026)

Bettane & Desseauve
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 winery (2022 guide) Recommended
About the wine:
Aromas of cream soda, vanilla oak, and crème fraîche: a full-bodied wine that caresses the palate with its slightly creamy texture. It offers a powerful finish, where the oak and alcohol are well-balanced, along with a mineral freshness. Natural power. Old vines on granite, facing south-southeast. Malolactic fermentation complete; weekly stirring on the lees.

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:
An interesting nose, dominated by ripe, intense pear aromas, with hints of acacia honey in the background. On the palate, it is concentrated, ripe, and rich, without being heavy or overpowering. The finish is long and rich, with just the right amount of acidity to enhance the powerful fruitiness.

About the wine:
The Saint-Joseph Blanc Le Paradis Saint-Pierre 2024 opens with intense aromas of lemon flesh, cedar, and fresh pear, with underlying notes of jasmine. Hints of wet stone lend it a mineral depth. Medium-bodied, leaning toward full-bodied and concentrated, the 2024 finishes with a lingering aftertaste and exceptional length on the palate.
