Ratings & Reviews
94 Points - Antonio Galloni's Vinous Media:
"Bright violet. Powerful black and blue fruit preserve, spicecake and incense aromas are lifted and sharpened by a strong, smoky mineral nuance. Stains the palate with concentrated, smoke-tinged boysenberry, cherry liqueur and five-spice flavors that become more energetic with air. Shows suave, seamless texture and finishes extremely long and sappy; chewy tannins build slowly and frame the intense dark fruit." - Josh Raynolds (Apr 2018)
92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"The 2015 Saint Joseph Domaine de la Croix des Vignes is more tannic than the 2016 but not better. Dry cedary notes frame cherry fruit in the medium to full-bodied wine that will require a couple of years in the cellar to show its best." Joe Czerwinski (Dec 2017)
From a 1.5 hectare vineyard in the heart of the Saint-Joseph’s finest terroir, above Mauves and Tournon. This incredibly steep plot faces southwest and is composed of pure granite with the bedrock very close to surface.
Biodynamically farmed
25+ year old vines
Low yields of 25 hl/ha
Aged in barrel (20% new)
