2022 Lionel Faury Saint Joseph 'La Gloriette' Rouge

A well-composed, vibrant and precise Saint-Joseph with so much energy, transparency and drive. The nose shows notes of dark cherries, currants, crushed stones, violets and black pepper. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins. Silky texture at the centre with a harmonious frame of finely grained tannins structuring the mid-palate. Plenty of texture, brightness and minerality to the transparent and crunchy dark cherry character. Vivid and flavourful with a long, vibrant finish.

Smoky bacon and violet notes, then full-bodied, generous and concentrated in the mouth. Good acidity and internal freshness, even though the fruit is soft, liquored and velvety with a
long finish. Fermented with a proportion of whole bunch; matured for 15 months in demimuids.
