M. CHAPOUTIER Saint Joseph BLANC 'Les Granilites' 2019/20/21 Bottle (100% Marsanne) - ORG

Description

Every wine from Michel Chapoutier is a stand-out. Here we have a Saint-Joseph Blanc, rare and a treat in itself and pure Marsanne.t shows an opulent creamy spice character to balance the bright mineral zip. Fresh and well-balanced on entry, nice volume with delicious, dessert-like notes, mineral tautness and a long lingering finish.

Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com 93 points - "The 2020 Saint Joseph Les Granilites Blanc has lots of classic Marsanne quince and honeyed stone fruit notes as well as medium-bodied richness and depth on the palate. A mix of terroirs, it’s a classic expression of the variety that should drink nicely for at least 4-5 years, and I certainly wouldn’t bet against it evolving longer."
