100% Marsanne, this cuvee comes from a 2 hectare vineyard planted on very steep, poor, stony granitic soil that gives this wine its mineral notes. It is full of fennel and aniseed overtones, with a wonderful bitter almond nut finish. As it ages, it will acquire waxy, honeyed tones. Harmonious and well balanced. (NT 10/05/20)

Joe Czerwinski
The brassy-hued, full-bodied 2019 Saint-Joseph Les Granits Blanc is 100% Marsanne, barrel fermented and matured. Ripe and opulent, with notes of honeyed citrus, toasted grain, pineapple and melon, it`s silky-textured and long on the finish. This is surely one of the stars of the appellation, with perhaps a decade of longevity ahead of it. 94 points
