Tasted by Joe Czerwinski on 20 January 2022: "A blend of old vines from the Paradis (in Mauves) and Saint-Joseph (in Tournon) vineyards, about half of the 2020 Saint Joseph le Paradis Saint Pierre has been de-stemmed. Tasted in barrel, it displays expressive floral notes and vibrant red fruit aromas. It is silky, rich and long."
