| St Joseph les Granits Blanc 1995 Chapoutier Ref: 4806 All our vintage wines show the vintage clearly on the bottle. Scoring 94/100 Parker points and from the very good 1995 vintage "The new luxury cuvee of St.-Joseph called Les Granites is a selection from an ancient 80-year-old, 5-acre vineyard planted on a hillside behind Gerard Chave's house in Mauves. It is a wine of extraordinary intensity. Yields were 15 hectoliters per hectare, and the wine was vinified completely in small barrels. Its liquid mineral/apricot-like aromas and flavors jump from the glass. The underlying crisp acidity provides delineation to this massive, 100% Marsanne wine, which tastes as if some Viognier were added to the blend. Only 250 cases were produced of what is the greatest dry white wine I have ever tasted from St.-Joseph. It should last for 15-20 years." Drink now - 2016. A wonderful present.
