Product Description

The parcels of vines are located in the districts of Charnas, Tournon & Mauves, where the principal soil & climate components that make for great Saint-Joseph wines can be found. Here there is granite terrain formed by geologic alteration, & content carried in by the wind ensuring that the soils are good for water filteration & restriction. The altitude & wind exposure (including the Mistral) ensure natural regulation of pests while providing freshness throughout the summer. These kinetics of slow maturation, give Granilites a potential for freshness, minerality & a particularly interesting tautness.
