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). 

An exuberantly oaky nose and rich on the palate, plenty of oak spice, cashew and touch of peach skin with a lovely dry extract and saltiness on the long finish. A rich vintage, and a delicious one. Picked 25th August.
