Chapoutier St Joseph Granits Blanc 2017 (750ML)

95 WS / 93 DE

Very focused, with yellow apple, persimmon, acacia, honeysuckle and lemon curd notes layered seamlessly as they move through, ending with salted butter and quinine echoes that bring you back for more. Drink now through 2028. From France. - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator

A classic, elegant, and intense vintage of Granits Blanc. Fresh, rich aromatic expression: honeysuckle and spiced peach with well-integrated oak spice. Medium-bodied, silky, with brisk acidity. Long, saline finish. Made from 47-year-old Marsanne vines grown on steep, gravelly granitic slopes near Tournon, lieu-dit St-Joseph. 85% is matured in demi-muid for 11 months, 15% new oak, the rest in stainless steel. Drinking Window 2020 - 2027. Decanter.com
