"The 2020 Saint Joseph L'Olivaie comes from a parcel of 60-year-old vines. It's a winner, offering a rocking array of black and blue fruits, crushed stone, pepper, and flowers as well as medium to full-bodied richness on the palate. With plenty of mid-palate depth, ripe yet present tannins, and a great finish, it will give a top Hermitage a run for its money." 

"The medium to full-bodied 2020 Saint Joseph l'Olivaie, tasted out of barrel—the final blend will be roughly 50% from pièces de Bourgogne and 50% from demi-muids—showed an enthralling blend of raspberries and olives, a sexy, silky mouthfeel and great length and freshness on the finish." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Very dark crimson color with purple reflections. It has a concentrated nose with red fruit and spice. On the palate, length and power with silky tannins completed by a very well-balanced structure. This rich and velvety wine will reveal great aromas within a few years."
