The finest vintage of this cuvée I’ve tasted, the 2020 Saint Joseph Vignes De L’Hospice is a dead-ringer for an Hermitage from the Bessards lieu-dit and reveals a dense purple hue as well as insane aromatics of pure crème de cassis, lit gunpowder, crushed stone, graphite, and truffle, with a liquid violet-like floral character. Full-bodied, massively concentrated, deep, powerful, and muscular on the palate, it nevertheless stays flawlessly balanced, has ultra-fine tannins, and a regal, structured, age-worthy style. It might be the finest Saint Joseph I’ve ever tasted, and I might be underrating this beauty by a point. It should hit prime time in 7-8 years and have 30 years of overall longevity. This is a legendary Saint Joseph that you should have in your cellar.

Varietal Red Rhone Blend

The Rhone region of France has been producing superb quality white blended wines for centuries, and is a region highly respected and esteemed around the world, with plenty of New World countries keen to emulate the styles and techniques displayed by the historic wineries and skilled vintners of the area. The secret to the Rhone's success when it comes to blended white wines is the careful and expert selection of certain grape varietals, which each lend special features to the blended wine and bring balance and harmony to the bottle. Most commonly, blended white Rhone wines feature no more than two grapes of either the Viognier, Rousanne, Marsanne or Grenache Blanc varietals, and are renowned for their exceptional flavors and highly aromatic, floral character.

Region Rhone Valley

The Rhone Valley of southern France is a particularly fascinating wine region, with a history that stretches back to at least six hundred BCE, when the ancient Greeks first began cultivating vines there. The region itself is split into two distinct sub-regions, with the northern sub-region being famed for its production of exceptional Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier wines, packed full of interesting character and expressing the terroir found there. The southern sub-region is home to an enormous variety of grapes, and produces red, white and rosé wines, and some of the world's most famous and adored blended wines. The continental climate of the region is ideal for growing grapes, and the winds which blow from the Central Massif help temper the heat in the vineyards, leading to very ripe fruits holding plenty of flavor.

Amazing nose of candied orange, ripe blackberry and smoke. Great balance of richness, precisely contoured fine tannins and strident minerality. Very long complex finish with so much smoky mystery. From a three-hectare single-vineyard that faces the hill of Hermitage from the opposite bank of the Rhone. Matured for 30 months in 100% small new oak casks. Drink or hold.

The 2020 Saint-Joseph Vignes de l'Hospice is more muscular than the Lieu-Dit Saint-Joseph, opening with a deep and complex bouquet of smoke, dark berries, spices, iris and violet, intertwined with delicate notes of mulberry. Full-bodied, dense and structured, it’s rich and ample, its controlled power framed by a firm chassis of ripe tannins, concluding with a long, mineral, pencil-lead-inflected finish. This will demand at least two decades of patience to reach its peak.

A polished, richly styled red, with a warm robe of toasty oak and mesquite smoke wrapped around black cherry compote, spiced fig and mocha flavors. Shows singed incense and green herbs, which add refreshing detail through the dense, chewy palate. Reveals refined tannins, which are firm yet nicely meshed into the lavish, well-integrated texture. Dense and meaty. Drink now through 2040.

Wafts of graphite, black cherry jam, blueberries, black plum, wood smoke and meaty gradations introduce the 2020 Saint-Joseph Vignes de l'Hospice. Showcasing a firmer tannic corset than the Lieu-dit Saint-Joseph, it also presents more depth and energy. Medium- to full-bodied and packed with an exuberant core of ripe black fruits, the 2020 brings it home with excellent persistence on the complex finish.
