2016 E.guigal Saint-joseph Lieu-dit Blanc

Guigal’s Saint-Joseph Lieu Dit Blanc comes from the vineyard that gives the Saint-Joseph appellation its name, and is one of the finest sites in the Northern Rhone Valley. Made in minuscule quantities, the Lieu Dit Blanc is one of the most original and distinctive whites in the Rhone.

A blend of 95% Marsanne and 5% Roussanne fermented in 50% new oak and 50% second-fill barriques. Very complex with oaky floral notes. Hazlenuts and yellow fruit. Very full-bodied attack. Fleshy fruit and round palate. A balanced palate with complex aromas and a roundness which is very characteristic of this Saint-Joseph which comes from the best terroirs of the appellation.
