This cuvée is a blend of wines from specific vineyard sites within the Saint-Joseph appellation, located primarily in the commune of Saint-Pierre-de-Bœuf (Cotayat site), but also in the southern part, near Tournon. On the nose, it exhibits the floral and fruity character of Syrahs from the northern Rhône, complemented by lovely spices. The palate is velvety and round, with pleasant, full-bodied tannins. A long finish that invites you to savor it. A vibrant Saint-Joseph worth discovering! Please note: limited quantities available.

Bettane & Desseauve
Winery rated 1 star (A high-quality, recommended wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
This estate owns several lovely vineyards in the Côte Blonde region, 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 promise this year.

Rated estate (2024 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
The Garon wines beautifully showcase the diversity of the Côte-Rôtie terroirs. We are captivated by the estate’s winemaking style, which stands out for its refined texture. The fruit is precise, and the aging profiles gain depth depending on the terroirs and the winemaker’s skill in managing oak. Among the various cuvées, La Sybarine reflects the character of the granite soils; Les Triotes, located on the Côte Blonde, next to Lancement, is made from schist; Les Rochins is crafted from the brown schist of the Côte Brune.
