WineSaint
Inky and mineral-driven, with crushing intensity from the Bessards and Méal vineyards. Dense waves of dark cherry, blackberry and olive tapenade coat the palate. Built like a fortress yet shows remarkable elegance beneath the power. The tannins are massive but polished, demanding serious cellaring.

→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.
