M. Chapoutier Saint-Joseph Les Granits Blanc 2019
From Maison M. Chapoutier in Tournon, Northern Rhône, the Saint-Joseph Les Granits Blanc 2019 is a refined Marsanne from 60-year-old vines on steep granitic slopes in the south of Tournon. Hand-harvested from organic and biodynamic vineyards, it’s fermented in vats and large oak barrels (15% new) and aged 8–10 months on lees with stirring, offering a golden hue with vibrant complexity.
Tasting Notes
A rich, elegant white with mineral and floral finesse, showcasing Saint-Joseph’s terroir.
The nose reveals quince, honeysuckle, and apricot, with hints of white flowers, celery seed, and salty minerality. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and rounded, with vibrant acidity, a silky texture, and flavors of honeyed fruit, spice, and a taut, mineral finish.
