The fruit for L'Olivaie is sourced from older vines planted in the 1940s giving the wine more depth and yet it still shows remarkable purity of the Syrah fruit grown on these great sites. The tannins are ripe and savoury and the wine has the potential to age very nicely.

100% Syrah

Very dark crimson colour with purple reflections. Concentrated nose, red fruit, spicy. In the mouth length and power with silky tannins completed by a very well balanced structure. This rich and velvety wine will reveal great aromas within a few years.

"The medium to full-bodied 2020 Saint Joseph l'Olivaie, tasted out of barrel—the final blend will be roughly 50% from pièces de Bourgogne and 50% from demi-muids—showed an enthralling blend of raspberries and olives, a sexy, silky mouthfeel and great length and freshness on the finish. Drink to 2035.
91-93+ points."
