Josh Raynolds: “I’m especially impressed by their St Joseph VV, which ranks among the top of the appellation.”
Eric Asimov, New York Times: “Young Lionel Faury makes wines with finesse and elegance, demonstrating that even the newer part of St Joseph has something to offer if the grapes come from granite soils.”
Along the steep, narrow valley that traces the northern Rhône, the appellations of Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu and Saint-Joseph take their place among the great wines of France, and Domaine Faury is one of the region’s most artisanal producers. When Philippe Faury took over the domaine in 1979, the family was selling wine, peaches and cherries, and the bulk of their clientele was local. Over the years, Philippe increased their holdings to over 11 hectares and began to sell internationally. He shared his savoir faire with his son, Lionel. Since 2006, Lionel has taken over the reins, though father and son still work side by side. Every method they use encourages the grape towards greatness with the ultimate respect for its fragility.
1.35 hectare plot, 20 -30 year old vines, this wine shows pedigree of this grower. This is far from entry level quality wine and is made with the same care and love as the rest of his wines. Mother nature was kind in 2019 another excellent growing season albeit warm. Delicious syrah … Lovely tense and yet round plush black currant fruit with classic violet lift and hints of more-ish smoky tar. Gorgeous balance and length in this fine medium bodied offering and makes it the perfect wine with bbq. We love this fine wine from the Northern Rhone
“Flowing black fruit, freshly ground peppercorn: the perfect lively, uncomplicated Syrah you’ll want to have over and over again. It is just what it should be.” Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant
