Domaine Faury Saint-Joseph Les Ribaudes Rouge 2020 Magnum

Domaine Faury’s Saint-Joseph Les Ribaudes 2020 is a refined, expressive Syrah presented in an impressive magnum format. Grown on granite soils and shaped by gentle cellar work, it offers the depth and aromatic character associated with northern Rhône appellations such as Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie, while remaining highly approachable in its youth.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in colour, the wine opens with an inviting fragrance of blackcurrant, blueberry and dark red berries, followed by classic Syrah notes of pepper, leather and subtle spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied yet concentrated, combining silky tannins with lively acidity and a clear mineral character. The finish is long and structured, with lingering dark fruit, savoury leather and a gently spicy edge. Enjoyable now for its freshness and supple texture, the 2020 vintage also has the structure to develop greater savoury complexity over the next several years, particularly in magnum.

Production
The wine is made from 100% Syrah grown on granite-rich soils in Saint-Joseph, from vines aged approximately 10 to 35 years. The grapes are harvested by hand and naturally fermented in open cement or concrete vessels, with gentle extraction during a maceration of around three weeks. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine matures for 15 months in large French oak foudres and demi-muids, with a low proportion of new oak—typically less than 10%—to preserve the clarity of the terroir and the wine’s fine tannic structure.

Food & Serving
Serve at approximately 16–18°C alongside roast lamb, grilled or braised beef, venison and other game dishes. Its peppery, savoury profile also works beautifully with mushroom-based dishes, herb-roasted vegetables and mature hard cheeses. The wine can be enjoyed without decanting, but a 30–60 minute decant will help reveal its full aromatic depth, especially when opened young.

Producer
Domaine Faury is a Saint-Joseph producer whose wines reflect the freshness, granite-driven minerality and elegant Syrah character of the northern Rhône. This Les Ribaudes bottling highlights the estate’s restrained approach to oak and careful extraction, allowing the vineyard’s fruit, spice and structure to remain at the centre of the wine.
