Saint Joseph Blanc is a serious and excellent wine, with weight and complexity but not so imposing as Hermitage Blanc. It is arguably better than the red at the same price. The "Lieu Dit Saint Joseph," from one of the very finest vineyards in the appellation, is deeper and richer, with the added complexity gained by 6 months aging in 2nd year barrels. It drinks well young, but should age and improve for several years beyond the vintage.
Blend: 93% Marsanne, 7% Roussanne
