The grapes grow under optimal conditions in the Rhône Valley. The vines here dig their roots deep into soils of shale. Saint Joseph Les Capelets is an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, as this Frenchman breathes an extraordinary European charm that clearly underscores the success of Old World wines.

Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks and small wood at controlled temperatures.
