Saint-Joseph: the best in red and white
Situated on the right bank of the Rhône, the Saint Joseph appellation stretches for almost 60 kilometers from north to south, between Chavanay and Guilherand-Granges, opposite Valence. Its AOC decree, published in 1956, covered just six communes at the time. Revised twice, it now covers 1415 hectares of vines, planted in 23 communes in the Ardèche and Loire departments.
