Stéphane Robert, a rising star in Cornas, founded his domaine in 1996 and now manages 13 hectares of Syrah, Marsanne, Roussanne, and Viognier across Cornas, Saint-Péray, Saint-Joseph, and Condrieu.
His winery is housed in a converted 170m railway tunnel, where gravity aids winemaking. Stéphane focuses on expressing the terroir, with hand-harvested grapes, separate vinification, and minimal oak.
The 2022 Saint-Joseph, sourced from 40-year-old vines, offers ripe fruit, structure, and notes of red/black cherry, violets, and subtle leafy nuances. Medium-bodied, polished, and concentrated, it promises to evolve beautifully.
