M. Chapoutier Saint-Joseph Blanc - Les Granits 2018

Parkers Wine Advocate: ”Marsanne 2017 Saint Joseph les Granits Blanc er en af appellationens top-hvidvine.” Les Granits Blanc er hovedsageligt gæret på fad og har en skøn næse af ristet korn med undertonerne af friske, sommerlige frugter som melon og mandarin – med et anstrøg af honning. Kroppen er medium til fuld med en fabelagtig lang og pikant finish, der balancerer vinens tyngde perfekt. Fortrinlig ledsager til fisk, pastaretter og ost. “Ripe and round, the 2018 Saint-Joseph Les Granits Blanc is a lovely example of this cuvée, combining full-bodied richness with citrus zest and freshness. Melon and tangerine notes fill out the ample palate, lingering delicately on the finish. 92-94/100” – The Wine Advocate “Limpid yellow-gold. Powerful, smoke-accented aromas of ripe citrus and orchard fruits are complemented by emerging mineral and floral overtones. Bright, focused and lively on the palate, offering densely packed orange zest, pear skin, candied ginger flavors and a suggestion of honeysuckle. In a graceful style but deeply concentrated as well, displaying solid finishing cut and repeating florality. 94/100” – Vinous "A killer wine as always, the 2018 Saint Joseph Les Granits Blanc reveals a medium gold color as well as powerful notes of white currants, toasted spices, brioche, quince, and crushed rock. With beautiful richness, medium to full body, no hard edges and a great finish, it's consistently one of the great whites in the appellation. 97/100" - Jeb Dunnuck “Good freshness and precision. Rounded, plenty of body and weight, but also depth, real generosity of body….. Honeysuckle, pithy citrus notes combine with good length and real mineral drive leading to a saline finish. 93/100” - Decanter
