Domaine Pierre Gonon St Joseph Blanc Les Oliviers 2018 is a full-bodied white wine from the St Joseph appellation of the northern Rhône Valley. Typically produced from 80% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne, Gonon`s Les Oliviers St-Joseph is probably the finest example of St-Joseph white wine and arguably has more in common with a good Hermitage Blanc, boasting the special combination of concentration, elegance and minerality associated with this latter appellation. "The 2018 Saint Joseph les Oliviers Blanc is approximately 80% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne, all barrel fermented and aged almost entirely in used oak (there is one new demi-muid in the mix for the 2018). It`s impressively rich and honeyed, with sweet, fruity notes of grilled pineapple balanced by hints of white pepper and brighter citrus notes. Full-bodied, creamy and lush, it remains lively and fresh on the finish—a wonderful paradox that the Gonons seem able to bring out in all of their wines." Wine Advocate, 2020
