Lionel Faury is at the helm of the family domaine these days and works in the same classic vein as many of our favorites from the Northern Rhone. His wines have remained especially affordable given their increasingly fine quality and immense pedigree. His Saint-Joseph, made from 100% Syrah, has been a real standout for us these past few vintages and is a perfect introduction to the style of the domaine. '15 was an especially strong vintage in the Rhone and this shows all the power and balance you'd expect from such a top producer in a top year.

Love this wine. Smoke, dark berries, cured meats, dried herbs, chalky minerality, soft texture and nice acid. So good with a bbq’d piece of meat.

Black cherry, black olive, white pepper. Lingering tannins and salinity on the finish. A little big and tight now but should open up in a couple years.

Gramenon may be my favorite affordable Rhône producer in Kermit's book, but Faury is a close second. And there's actually enough of it to go around. Great to see a powerful vintage kept in balance, too. Is it shitty to start a review by naming another producer?

I like the way they pay attention to grape extraction and harvesting. This was sole reason why I bought it

A ripe expression of Northern Rhone, yet well balanced. Good juice.
