This cuvée is a blend of vineyard plots from the Saint-Joseph appellation, located primarily in the town of Saint-Pierre-de-Bœuf (Cotayat plot), but also in the southern part, near Tournon. On the nose, you’ll find the floral and fruity character of the Syrahs from the northern Rhône, complemented by lovely spices. The palate is velvety and round, with pleasant, generous tannins. A long finish that invites you to savor it. A vibrant Saint-Joseph waiting to be discovered! Please note: limited quantities available.

Bettane & Desseauve
Winery rated 1*Star (A high-quality, recommended production that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
This estate has some lovely vineyards in the Côte Blonde area, including one on the Goutay, near their home, but their best wine comes from Les Rochains, on the schist soils near La Landonne. The production still lacks consistency, but the style is authentic, bearing the hallmark of whole-cluster fermentation. The 2017 vintage showed great character this year.

Rated estate (2024 guide) 1*Star (Rising stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a good standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
The Garon wines beautifully highlight the diversity of the Côte-Rôtie terroirs. We are captivated by the estate’s winemaking style, which is distinguished by its refined texture. The fruit is precise, and the aging profiles gain depth depending on the terroirs and the estate’s ability to manage oak. Among the various cuvées, La Sybarine evokes the character of the granite soils; Les Triotes, located on the Côte Blonde next to Lancement, is made from schist; and Les Rochins is produced on the brown schist of the Côte Brune.
