"The awesome 2003 St.-Joseph Vignes des Hospices came in at 15% natural alcohol, which is easily disguised by the inky purple color along with the nose of graphite, scorched earth, blackberry, cassis, and hints of raspberry, violets, and truffle. Remarkably full-bodied, but at the same time light on its feet with an elegance and finesse that are almost eerie for a wine of this enormous weight and richness, this is a legendary wine made from yields that were 60% lower than usual! It should evolve for 20-30+ years."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
