Note di degustazione
Bright gold. White peach, poached pear, honey and smoky minerals on the deeply perfumed nose. Round and supple on the palate, with very good depth and clarity to the flavors of peach nectar, Meyer lemon, flowers and sweet butter. A leesy nuance builds with air and carries through a long, broad finish that repeats the floral and mineral notes. The blend of power and vivacity here is quite suave.

Another blockbuster that savvy readers need to buy up, the 2012 Saint Joseph les Granits Blanc is a drop-dead gorgeous wine that offers up tons of crushed rock-like minerality, stone fruits, white peach and buttered citrus to go with a full-bodied, decadent, yet also elegant and focused style on the palate. Count me a fan, and while it's a great drink now, it will have an easy 15+ years of evolution.
(all marsanne, from granitic soils in Charnas, Mauves and Tournon): Pale gold. Lively, mineral-laced aromas of candied citrus fruits, nectarine and white flowers, with a bright, spicy overtone. Dry and sharply focused, offering energetic orange and nectarine flavors with subtle smoke and anise notes. Clean and nervy on the tightly focused finish, with the mineral and floral notes echoing.
