INFO: Lionel is making stunning wines and has definitely moved his 17 hectares family domaine to the top of the first division of growers and super value in both reds and whites.This part of Saint-Joseph, with its steep hillsides is a challenging terrain, but the south-southeast exposure and granite soil have given this 100% Syrah from 10-35 year old vines, its signature peppery, spicy, olive and herb flavours.
Lionel Faury's red Hedonism is wonderful on the nose, fresh and lively with plenty of red berry and fine tannins - charming and moreish.
Signature aromas of ripe red and dark berries, with a smoky mineral element, delivering black pepper with tapenade, wild herbs and crushed black berries. A great long finish with hints of sweetness and gentle tannins.
