M. CHAPOUTIER Saint Joseph BLANC 'Les Granilites' 2021 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.

Notes from Chapoutier - Appearance: Strong yellow with bright green highlights. Nose: Fresh, with delicate notes of white flowers and white-fleshed fruit (peaches, pears), delicious aromatic notes, underscored by lovely, smooth oakiness. Palate: Fresh and well-balanced on entry, nice volume with delicious, dessert-like notes, mineral tautness and a long lingering finish. Ageing: Ageing for 8 months. During the first two months, the lees are stirred to control and limit oxydation of the wine. 75% of ageing takes place in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine’s freshness and minerality. The remaining 25% is matured in demi-muids (600l barrels) which gives ”Les Granilites” consistency, power and aromatic complexity.
