About the wine
Game-changing, powerful red from our very own President
- Last year I was elected President of the Saint Saturnin wine growers union. I can’t thank you enough for transforming my life and my wines.
- My L’Etoile de Saint Saturnin is made from old vine of Grenache, Syrah and Carignan. I wanted to create something fresh and well balanced with concentrated black fruits - which still expresses the wonderful Mediterranean spice characteristics of our terroir.
- As a small winemaker we usually don’t have the means to produce wines like this. Naked Wines trusted in me and gave me the resources to offer you a wine of pleasure, at a magic price. You made it possible guys, now it’s time to enjoy!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Virgile Joly
- Virgile Joly is almost annoyingly perfect. He's ultra organic, with the certificates to prove it. Dashingly good looking, with a beautiful wife, Magda, (who fell in love with him after one harvest). Stupidly talented with wine, he has glowing reviews from the doyenne of wine writing, Jancis Robinson.
- Plus he's not afraid of hard work. He bottled his first vintage himself. 3,000 bottles, Virgile and a funnel. Now that's dedication!
- 10 years later, he's producing some of the Languedoc's most sought after wines and we're using Angel funding to help him expand his winery and go on to even greater things. Plus his surname brings a smile to our face every time we see it - what's not to like!
