The vineyard
Les Granits 2021 is a Saint-Joseph wine that stems from vines planted on very steep slopes composed mainly of granite, located to the south of Tournon.
The vintage
2021 is a vintage during which the shifting weather conditions between the northern and southern parts of the Rhône Valley revealed the nuances and richness of each of these fine terroirs. This vintage exudes an alluring finesse and its aromatic palette harmoniously blends complexity and elegance.
