WineSaint
Inky and profound, with dense cherry liqueur, violet and exotic spice building beautifully. The granite-rich Greffieux and Bessards vineyards deliver serious weight and mineral drive. Formidable tannins require patience. Built for decades. Drink 2030+.

→Bernard Faurie is among the most quietly serious producers on the Hermitage hill, farming small parcels across the appellation's most storied lieux-dits and bottling them with minimal intervention and no concession to fashion.
