E. Guigal Saint-Joseph Lieu Dit Blanc 2017 (93 VM)
“Bright straw-yellow. A suave, deeply perfumed bouquet evokes pear nectar, peach, candied fig and vanilla, along with hints of jasmine and ginger that emerge with aeration. Densely packed and penetrating on the palate, offering intense orchard and pit fruit flavors that are given back-end grip by a snap of bitter orange pith. Rich but vibrant in character, displaying impressive finishing energy and mineral-driven persistence. 50% new oak.”
