Tasting notes
The M. Chapoutier Saint-Joseph Blanc Les Granits is a golden yellow color. The nose is slightly mineral with floral touches of honeysuckle and lily. The palate is well balanced and harmonious with subtle spices developing into mellowed honey.
Estate
With roots dating back to 1808, M. CHAPOUTIER is one of the oldest companies in the Rhône Valley. Yet, its world renown and the quality of wine can truly be accredited to the arrival of Michel Chapoutier in 1990. His willingness to change the set way, thirst for knowledge and open-mindedness, together with his drive to seek, discover and reflect the full potential of our terroirs, letting the soils express their true character, has put our wines firmly on the wine world map. This philosophy is what gives our wines their signature style, forms the basis of the M. CHAPOUTIER ethos and drives our team to reveal the very best of what the soils have to offer.
Vinification
Pressing of the whole grapes. Cold settling between 24 and 48 hours. Half of the wine is fermented in vats, the other part in big wooden barrels (600 liters). Ageing takes place on lees from 8 to 10 months, with stirrings. The two parts are blending before bottling.
