M. Chapoutier Saint-Joseph Les Granits Blanc 2021
From Maison M. Chapoutier in Tournon, Northern Rhône, the Saint-Joseph Les Granits Blanc 2021 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 medium gold hue with vibrant complexity.
Tasting Notes
A rich, elegant white with mineral and floral finesse, showcasing Saint-Joseph’s terroir.
The nose reveals honeyed stone, apricot, and white flowers, with hints of orange blossom, lavender, and granite minerality. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and silky, with vibrant acidity, a waxy texture, and flavors of stone fruit, spice, and a long, mineral finish.
Awards and Accolades
