The Francois de Tournon from Delas Frères comes from the best parcels of various communes in Saint-Joseph. 30% of the wine is aged in new oak.
2020 is a remarkably charming vintage, the wines have an exuberant fruit that almost completely hides the tannins, so they can be drunk with great pleasure even when they are young. The intense scent of blackberries, cherries and cassis is beguiling, and there is also a very attractive roasted note from the barrique. The taste is very juicy, the fine tannins show up in the background and provide support. You have to be very careful not to drink it up at the moment, because it can actually remain in the cellar for many years.
