M. CHAPOUTIER Saint-Joseph "Les Granits" 2018 - Magnum 1.5L (White)

Wine Region: Rhone Valley - France

Grape: Marsanne

Tasting notes: In appearance the wine is golden yellow. The nose is mineral with floral overtones of honeysuckle and lily in its youth, Tabasco, wax, honey. On the palate it's well-balanced. A very harmonious wine with a subtle final of spices developing into honey with ageing.
