WINE DESCRIPTION

Domaine Faury Saint-Joseph Blanc is a white wine produced by Domaine Faury, a renowned winery located in the Saint-Joseph appellation of the Northern Rhône region in France. The vineyards are situated on steep slopes with granite soils, which impart a unique minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves hand-harvesting and gentle pressing of the grapes, followed by fermentation in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant blend of Marsanne and Roussanne grapes, with notes of white flowers, honey, and citrus. It is a perfect match for seafood, poultry, and creamy pasta dishes.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Domaine Faury Saint-Joseph Blanc offers a bright and inviting nose of white flowers, lemon zest, and fresh pear.On the palate, it is light-bodied, yet deliciously balanced with a crisp acidity and a hint of nutty notes. The finish is long and inviting, with a delightful mineral edge. All in all, this is a delightful, refreshing white that pairs nicely with seafood dishes.

ORIGINS

Winery: Domaine Faury

Region: Rhone

The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.
