E. Guigal St Joseph ‘Vignes de l’Hospice’ 2020 Size::1 Bottle mild and very civilized tanninsGrown on the vineyard directly across from Hermitage and planted on the same rock formation, dramatically perched above the town of Tournon, the Vignes de l'Hospice makes perhaps the most persuasive argument as to why Saint Joseph at one time was considered superior even to Hermitage. It shares with the best Hermitage a powerful intensity, yet the elegance of Saint Joseph is beautifully apparent in how the wine draws out and finishes.
