| "The fit Lionel Faury was hobbled by a severe leg injury sustained while water jousting — he's a locally acclaimed champion — but he gamely showed me about his small cellars high above Chavanay. The Domaine consists of only about 12 hectares total, including a few small parcels in Côte-Rôtie and 3.5 hectares of Condrieu, while the bulk of the holdings are in Saint-Joseph around Chavanay. These are classically balanced, elegant examples of their appellations that impress more for their elegance and harmony than for sheer power. The Condrieu and Saint-Joseph Blanc are made in a combination of tank and barrel, using some acacia wood and no bâtonnage to avoid too much 'gras,' while the reds from Saint-Joseph have incorporated a bit more whole clusters recently, as Faury finds that the stems add complexity and the process seems to lower the overall alcohol levels .... The Saint-Joseph Vieilles Vignes, one of the stars of the cellar, comes from 40- to 60-year-old vines, but this year, I was even more impressed by Faury's Côte-Rôties. The vines have reached a certain level of maturity now, and the class of his Côte Brune sites in le Plomb, l'Arselies, and Fourvier shines through."

Faury believes that 2020 is a great year in Côte-Rôtie, and these samples seem to support his theory."

Appealingly sweet blueberry, cassis and violet pastille flavors slowly deepen in the glass and pick up a smoky accent on the back half. Finishes smooth and long, displaying gentle sweetness, rounded tannins and a persistent floral note."
