PDO Saint joseph: powerful and demanding

The red varieties are made from Syrah, the only red grape type in the appellation. Delicate and fruity with floral aromas of violets and fresh red fruits when young, they gain in complexity with time and then their flavour pulls on black and blue fruits, Tonka bean and some notes of undergrowth.

Two grape varieties are used to make white Saint-Joseph: Roussanne and Marsanne. Representing a very small proportion of the production, these whites have a beautiful aromatic complexity.


Cépage : Syrah pour les rouges (maximum 10% de Roussanne ou de Marsanne), Roussanne et Marsanne pour les blancs.

Surface de production : environ 1080 ha
Production moyenne annuelle : 40 000 Hl
À table : viandes rouges grillées et petits gibiers pour les rouges ; poissons et fromages de chèvre pour les blancs
