Tasting notes
The barrel-fermented 2019 Saint-Joseph Lieu-Dit Saint-Joseph Blanc spends a year in oak, half new and half second-fill. Toasted grain and wood spice mark the nose as a result, but that oaky finish is backed up by ripe pear and melon, and this medium to full-bodied effort is rich and honeyed without losing focus or precision, finishing mouthwatering and long.

Another incredible wine, the 2019 Saint Joseph Lieu-Dit Saint Joseph Blanc boasts a vivid gold hue as well as incredible notes of quince, white currants, toasted almonds, brioche, and a liquid rock-like minerality. Rich, full-bodied, and opulent on the palate, it has a wonderful sense of minerality, a seamless, multi-dimensional texture, and a blockbuster of a finish. This is the finest example of this cuvée I've tasted (and I've had them all). Enjoy bottles over the coming 15+ years.
