St Joseph Blanc Les Oliviers Pierre Gonon 2021

This white Saint-Joseph derives its name from the lieu-dit situated at the southern end of the village of Tournon. The Marsanne and Roussanne grapes composing it thrive in granite subsoils and red clay soils adorned with scattered pudding stones. In the cellar, the pressing process is intentionally slow. The resulting white must undergoes settling, vinification, and maturation on lees in new barrels for eleven months, accompanied by regular stirring. ‘Les Oliviers’ unveils a round and creamy palate, evolving into appealing bitter notes. Simultaneously, hints of citrus, honey, flowers, and enticing spices contribute to a remarkably fresh and enduring finish.
