Domaine Faury St Joseph Rouge Vieilles Vignes La Gloriette 2022 (750ml) MentridaWhat I love most about Faurys old vine Saint Joe are the lively, peppery aromatics offered right at the first pour. The roots of these vines run deep, and deep is what you get in the glass, tooa rich mix of black olive, fennel, and raspberry. This cuve is a longtime personal favorite, solid and dependable year in and year out, from the domaines oldest vines, situated in the famed Le Blanchard parcel on the northern tip of the Saint Joseph appellation.
