The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine With 2 stars in the Guide RVF, Domaine du Tunnel stands as a dependable name in the Northern Rhône. In Saint-Péray and the surrounding vineyards—including Cornas, Saint-Joseph, and Condrieu—Stéphane Robert masterfully crafts modern, precise, and refined wines that set benchmarks for their appellations.

This cherished estate has seen a resurgence lately, with more measured aging and wines that have grown in clarity and vivacity. Both whites and reds shine, featuring enveloped, pure, and deep characters, driven by a stunning aromatic profile and splendid freshness.
Wine The 2022 red Saint-Joseph  is a paragon of its kind, featuring a particularly well-crafted and refined Syrah. It boasts beautiful aromas of red and black fruits, notes of violet, and spices. The palate follows this clean and distinct profile, structured with fine tannins, great freshness, and perfect balance. Simply perfect, ready to enjoy in three to four years or even more.
Vinification Hand-harvested. Vines with an average age of 40 years, located in the communes of Tournon-sur-Rhône, Mauves and Glun. Vinification and ageing by plot for 14 months.
