Saint-Joseph François de Tournon AC 0.75L

The Saint-Joseph François de Tournon from Delas is a classic northern Rhône Syrah: straightforward, spicy, with the characteristic mineral depth of the granite soils.

The house of Delas is one of the most renowned négociants of the northern Rhône and has been working with sites around Tournon for generations. This Saint-Joseph combines grapes from four municipalities — Vion, Saint-Jean-de-Muzols, Mauves, and Tournon — which grow on light slate and gneiss soils over granite with a southern to southeastern orientation. 100% Syrah, as required by the appellation law for Saint-Joseph red.

In the glass, it shows dark cherry, black olive, and violets, plus the typical pepper spice of the Syrah from the north — more restrained and leaner than a Châteauneuf, but with clear minerality in the finish.

Pairs with leg of lamb with herbs of Provence, grilled beef steak, or a strong goat cheese. Drinking temperature: 16–18 °C.

The Domaine

Delas

Maison Delas Frères – the soul of the Rhône Valley. A traditional house since 1835, but 1996 brought the turning point. Fabrice Rosset and oenologist Jacques Grange took over – and made Delas one of the "big four" of the Rhône.

Grange, with Burgundian experience, focuses on elegance instead of pure power. Parcel-by-parcel vinification, uncompromising terroir focus. 32 hectares of their own top sites: Hermitage, Saint-Joseph, Crozes-Hermitage. The result: wines with freshness, depth, and character.

In 2019, Delas moved into the new cellar vault in Tain-l'Hermitage – after almost 190 years into the light, where it has long belonged. Rhône as it tastes.
