90-92 A prebottling sample assembled from barrel and tank, the 2020 Saint-Joseph Blanc is a strong effort. Scents of petrichor, beeswax, pear, melon and citrus all combine on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is lush yet fine, leading into a long, silky-textured finish. ... More details

Starts subdued, then opens up to reveal an appealing mix of floral, stone fruit and fresh apricot flavors. Dense and juicy on the palate, with oak whispers to round off the edges. Builds in concentration toward the medium-length finish, with a kick of quinine bitterness. Marsanne and Roussanne. Drink now through 2028. 3,000 cases made, 200 cases imported.

A step up over the Crozes Hermitage, the 2020 Saint Joseph Blanc has beautifully integrated oak as well as notes of white peach, honeyed apple, honeysuckle, and brioche. More medium-bodied on the palate, it has that classic Saint-Joseph focus and minerality and will drink brilliantly for 7-8 years, although there's no need to delay gratification.

Varietal: White Rhone Blend

The Rhone region of France has been producing superb quality white blended wines for centuries, and is a region highly respected and esteemed around the world, with plenty of New World countries keen to emulate the styles and techniques displayed by the historic wineries and skilled vintners of the area. The secret to the Rhone's success when it comes to blended white wines is the careful and expert selection of certain grape varietals, which each lend special features to the blended wine and bring balance and harmony to the bottle. Most commonly, blended white Rhone wines feature no more than two grapes of either the Viognier, Rousanne, Marsanne or Grenache Blanc varietals, and are renowned for their exceptional flavors and highly aromatic, floral character.

Region: Rhone Valley

There are few wine regions in the world with a history as long and illustrious as that of the Rhone Valley in France. For over two thousand years, wines have been produced in this region, benefited by the excellent, mineral-rich soils of the region, and the varied climate which allows a wide range of grape varietals to grow. The Rhone Valley is now split into two quite separate regions, with the north part being characterized by its cooler, continental climate and the limited number of grape varietals grown, and the southern sub-region being perfect for growing a wide range of grapes, and producing an exciting number of different wine styles. The Rhone Valley is associated with elegant, flavorful wines, and certain grape varietals such as Viognier and Syrah, which are adept at expressing the finer features of their terroir.

Country: France

It is widely understood and accepted that the finest wines in the world come out of France. Whether you are drinking a vintage bottle from one of the famed Grand Cru wineries of Bordeaux - such as Chateau Margaux or Chateau Lafite-Rothschild - or a more simple and affordable bottle from one of the lesser known appellations in Burgundy, the likelihood is that the wine is packed full of intense and interesting flavors, and has a fine, balanced structure typical of almost all French produce. This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines. Such dedication and passion for fine wine, representative of the region in which it is produced, means customers can be assured that when they buy a bottle from France, they are buying something almost certain to please and delight.
