- PRODUCER NOTES
- FARMING & WINEMAKING NOTES
A rising star of the Northern Rhône, Jean-Baptiste returned to St Joseph after working in New Zealand, Australia, California, Bordeaux and Burgundy. He has sought out small high altitude parcels that express balance and elegance. Quantities of each cuvée are often tiny as Jean Baptise seeks to focus on single parcel expressions.
Jean Baptiste seeks freshness in his wines, so has sought out vines mainly on the top of slopes as well as being planted on granite. All his vineyards are listed as ‘lute raisonnée’.
From 1 ha over 2 parcels planted on clay soils over sand. Partial whole cluster with indigenous yeast fermentation, 3 weeks maceration with pump-overs then 13 months ageing in old oak before bottling un-fined and unfiltered.
