93pts Decanter

Really gorgeous nose, with oregano, rosemary and menthol. It has the fresh chewy feel of stemmy tannins on the palate; it will require a couple of years to digest them. Blackberry fruit, great liveliness and energy. One of the best red St-Josephs this year - as it is in most vintages. Drinking window 2025-2030 (Sep 2022)

90pts Wine Spectator

A racy red, with mulled plum and fresh berry detailed by violet and white pepper. Shows generous salty charred iron and dusty earth notes that move through, with a firm finish. Drink now through 2027. (Nov 2023)

Winemaker Description

Along the steep, narrow valley that traces the northern Rhône, the appellations of Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu and Saint-Joseph take their place among the great wines of France, and Domaine Faury is one of the region’s most artisanal producers. When Philippe Faury took over the domaine in 1979, the family was selling wine, peaches and cherries, and the bulk of their clientele was local. Over the years, Philippe increased their holdings to over 11 hectares and began to sell internationally. He shared his savoir faire with his son, Lionel. Since 2006, Lionel has taken over the reins, though father and son still work side by side. Every method they use encourages the grape towards greatness with the ultimate respect for its fragility.
