Saint Joseph grows on small, granite terraces facing the south and south-west, on the eastern edge of the Massif Central mountain range.
Spanning a large area from North to South, over about fifty kilometres, Saint Joseph is the second largest vineyard in the northern Rhône valley.
In this appellation, Cave de Tain selects exceptional plots, from old vines located on steep slopes with ideal exposure. Vinified separately, they compose the Saint Joseph Esprit de Granit.
Granite soils provide for the reds, power and elegance and for the whites, roundness and a predominant fruit character.
