"The 1995 St.-Joseph Les Granites (made from the same 80-year old parcel of vines as the 1996) is rich and full-bodied, with loads of glycerin, and a distinct minerality combined with the apricot/peach-like fruit. It is a gloriously dense, powerful, yet elegant white St.-Joseph that, along with the 1996, should age for 10-15 years. Both the 1995 and 1996 St.-Josephs are reference point/breakthrough wines that establish a new level of quality for this appellation. Both wines are totally barrique-aged, of which one-third is new oak."

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.
