Join to read it and the restThe estate's Saint-Joseph Blanc is bottled as 100% Roussanne - an exception in the appellation, where Marsanne is normally the dominant or sole grape. The fruit comes from granite slopes on the northern side of the AOC. Direct press, native ferment, neutral wood ageing, no fining or filtration, effectively no SO2 - the house template applied to a precise, taut white. 2022 was a warm Northern Rhône vintage; expect ripe orchard fruit pulled into shape by Roussanne's natural saline drive.
