M. Chapoutier Saint-Joseph Les Granits Blanc 2022
From Maison M. Chapoutier in Tournon, Northern Rhône, the Saint-Joseph Les Granits Blanc 2022 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 and granite minerality. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and brisk, with vibrant acidity, a silky texture, and flavors of stone fruit, spice, and a taut, mineral finish.
Awards and Accolades
The 2022 Saint-Joseph Les Granits Blanc earned 94–96 points from Jeb Dunnuck for its focused style and vibrant fruit in the 2022 vintage.
