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 expanded their holdings to over eleven hectares. The Saint-Jospeph sees 35 to 70% of whole clusters macerate in open concrete vats for 3 weeks. Gravity barreling occurs in large containers (foudres and demi-muids) for an aging period of 15 to 18 months. The wine is vinified with natural yeast and carried out by gravity, without fining or filtration.
