The wine

La Croix des Vignes is a fine and delicate red wine which was already sold in the 16th century. This vineyard is located in the historic heart of the Saint-Joseph vineyard, above Mauves and Tournon sur Rhône. The plot, facing south is made up of granite soil degraded to gore.

The wine is adorned with a deep purple color, almost black. Its nose develops peppery aromas with a hint of violet. In the mouth, the notes of peppery spices with a hint of violet bring out the typicality of the Syrah, but with the freshness of St-Joseph.

Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker, Jancis Robinson, and Suckling

The red-fruited 2016 Saint Joseph Domaine de la Croix des Vignes features cherry and olive notes. It's rich and velvety across the medium to full-bodied mid-palate, turning crisp and tart on the finish. Drink now through 2030.

— Joe Czerwinski (31/10/2018)Robert Parker Wine Advocate Vintage 2016 - 92 PARKER

Rudimentary black fruit with some violet character and grainy tannic grip. Simple on the palate. Doesn't really go anywhere.

— Richard Hemming (17/10/2017)JancisRobinson.com Vintage 2016 - 15 JANCIS ROBINSON

A wine with plenty of tar and dark-berry character. Asphalt undertones and decadence. Medium to full body, soft tannins and a juicy finish.
