The last vines stand just a few centimeters from a steeply dropping rock edge – hence the name \"Saut de l’Ange,\" the Angel's Leap.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe vines grow on south to southeast-facing slopes on schist and gneiss over a granitic subsoil. After whole-cluster pressing, the must is cold-settled and then fermented in foudres, demi-muids, and stoneware. The twelve-month aging process gives the wine structure and depth without masking the Roussanne with oak.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2024 vintage proves both generous and astonishingly fresh: ripe peach, nectarine, and pear, accompanied by fine floral notes, white pepper, and a stony, spicy minerality. On the palate, it is initially creamy and supple, then increasingly taut and precise. Fine phenolic bitter notes and a salty freshness pull the wine into a long, energetic finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA white Saint-Joseph that beautifully demonstrates what Roussanne is capable of in the northern Rhône: texture and ripeness, but also tension, spice, and mineral pull.

The grapes come from the steep, barren granite slopes of Condrieu in the northern Rhône.
