E. Guigal Saint-Joseph Lieu Dit Blanc 2019 (96 JD)
“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).”
