Guy Farge - St-Joseph Gourmandise 2012
This Saint-Joseph, initially reserved, opens up to the air with a rich and indulgent character, where floral and ripe notes mingle with a spicy freshness: peony, cherry, and grapes preserved in alcohol, paprika, chocolate, and tobacco. The palate is warm, developing its fullness and indulgent character on a solid texture where the tannins are both robust and well-rounded. A truly beautiful wine!

About the estate:
We very often prefer reds to whites, which are often heavy and lack freshness.
