Presentation
Presentation
This wine is made from a single vineyard averaging 60+ years and rooted deep in granite slopes in
high lying terraces which can only be harvested by hand. The steep slopes benefit from exceptional drainage, sunshine. Combine this with good vine maturity, and the Luyton and Fleury guys are able to produce unique wines expressing tremendous freshness, melted tannins and yet an almost ethereal style with full-on terroir expression.

Tasting
This one has lots of both kirsch and blue fruits as well as spice and sappy, flower-like nuances.
With more richness on the palate, gripping (in a good way) acidity, and a ripe, voluptuous style, it’s
ideal for drinking over the coming decade. It's very much in the style of the vintage with its
seamless, supple style, yet it has ample tannins as well as outstanding length.

Reviews
"Slightly more expensive, the 2019 Saint Joseph Origine has lots of both kirsch and blue fruits as well as spice and sappy, flower-like nuances. With more richness on the palate, moderate acidity, and a ripe, voluptuous style, it’s ideal for drinking over the coming decade. This cuvée comes from a selection of older vines near Mauves and was brought up in 20% new oak."
