The wines of this appellation

Saint-Joseph red wines are fruity and pleasant. The best examples come from Mauves, Tournon, Saint-Jean-de-Mujols, Lemps, Vion and Glun, north of Cornas. They exhibit aromas of raspberry, blackcurrant, black cherry, violet and liquorice and pair well with braised ham or rabbit casserole. The white wines are fresh and relatively robust with good acidity and pleasant fruitiness, with fragrances of peach, apricot, pear, hawthorn, acacia and honey. They pair with rosemary-flavoured goats cheese or turbot in a mustard sauce.

Cash flow has been bled dry, transactions have dwindled and prospects are pretty lacklustre in its two key markets, the United States and China. For all that, Cognac has lost nothing of its global aura. And as the industry members we spoke to confirmed, there are reasons for hope, particularly for those active in France and Europe.
