Wine Maison Michel Chapoutier - From the name you can well understand that the nature of the soil has its part to play. Indeed, the best Saint-Josephs are in this terroir style. On the palate, it is smooth, precise and balanced. The tannins are very well integrated, and lovely mineral tension is discernible in the granite. The finish is abundantly fruity and persistent! And the stamp of Michel Chapoutier is present throughout. Class!
