Score 86/100 · Robert Parker, Aug 2008

The regular cuvee of St.-Joseph, the 2005 Les Deschants, is a peppery, spicy, tannic wine, lean and hard at present, but has personality, zesty acidity, and rather cool-climate red fruits with a stony minerality beneath them. The great terroiriste and biodynamic farmer of the northern Rhone, Michel Chapoutier, continues to display impressive talent for turning out strong wines from the southern Rhone even though his undeniable strengths are his single-vineyard wines from the north.
