Type: White
Appellation: Saint-Joseph
Region: Rhône Valley
Country: France
Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, low tannin, medium acidity, dry
White Saint-Joseph is a small fraction of the appellation's output and worth seeking out — Marsanne supplying weight, waxy texture and almond, Roussanne adding floral lift and a firmer acid line. White peach and dried apricot with honeysuckle, beeswax and almond, medium-bodied and dry with a subtly oily finish. Northern Rhône whites are low in acidity by nature, which is why they are best drunk either young and fresh or after they have come through their closed middle years into honeyed maturity.
