Domaine Jolivet

On the heights of Saint-Jean-de-Muzols, in the heart of the northern Rhône Valley, Domaine Jolivet stands out as one of the most promising faces of the Saint-Joseph appellation. After honing his skills in Burgundy, abroad, and alongside the iconic winemaker Stéphane Montez, Bastien Jolivet took over the family vineyards in 2014 to create his own wines. The vineyard covers 11 hectares (8 in red and 3 in white), spread over steep granite slopes. Here, harvesting is done by hand and aging takes place in used barrels and demi-muids to preserve the purity of the fruit. The estate's red wines, 100% Syrah, combine indulgentprecision, structure, and elegance, while the Saint-Joseph whites, made from Marsanne and Roussanne, captivate with their balance between richness and freshness. An estate and wines you absolutely must discover !
