The wine

Les Granits reveals a golden yellow color. A mineral nose with floral notes of honeysuckle and lily in its youth, Tabasco, wax, honey. On the palate it is well balanced with great harmony for a finely spicy finish which will develop on honey with age. Depending on the vintage, the wine can be kept for 30 to 60 years, or even 50 to 75 years.

Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker and Jancis Robinson

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.
