- PRODUCER NOTES
- FARMING & WINEMAKING NOTES
A rising star of the Northern Rhône, Jean-Baptiste returned to St Joseph after working in New Zealand, Australia, California, Bordeaux and Burgundy. He has sought out small high altitude parcels that express balance and elegance. Quantities of each cuvée are often tiny as Jean Baptise seeks to focus on single parcel expressions.
Jean Baptiste seeks freshness in his wines, so has sought out vines mainly on the top of slopes as well as being planted on granite. All his vineyards are listed as ‘lute raisonnée’.
The Saint-Joseph has been a domaine wine since 2022. It is partial whole cluster, fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks with a 3 week maceration now with much reduced extraction with only 1 pipe-over. Aged in used oak barrels, then stainless steel before being assembled back into barrel for for 13 months with racking and bottled un-fined and unfiltered.
