"A well-balanced, textured and precise Saint-Joseph showing notes of dark cherries, crushed raspberries, roasted meat and some peppercorns on the nose. It's medium-bodied with fine tannins. Bright center-palate, pure and crunchy, with juicy dark cherry character. Elegant, yet it has intensity and vitality with a precise, vivid finish and excellent length. Drink or hold."

"Crafted from vines planted on schist and granite soils, the 2022 Saint-Joseph Silice is excellent. Evoking aromas of dark cherries, violets and plums mingled with spices, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and layered, rich and textural with good depth at the core, framed by ripe, velvety tannins, concluding with a long, ethereal and fruity finish. This is a great effort."

"Enjoyably soft and velvety style, with good acidity and discreet tannins. Very well balanced, easy to drink, but not basic – has a granitic, chiselled texture. Classic in style, matured in barriques and demi-muids for 12 months."

"The 2022 Saint-Joseph Silice unfolds with ripe black cherry, pencil shaving, black tea, crushed violet and gently leafy subtleties. Medium-bodied at most, the 2022 is a classic, age-worthy Silice that's gently structured by ripe tannins."

"Red and black fruits, flowers, chalky minerality, and spicy, subtly leather-like nuances all emerge from the 2022 Saint Joseph Silice, a medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, elegant Saint Joseph that has fine tannins and a beautiful sense of freshness. It should shine right out of the gate, yet given its overall balance and purity, also evolve for 15 years."
