Ratings & Reviews

98 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"The selections parcellaires whites tasted include the 2009 St.-Joseph Les Granits Blanc (789 cases), which may be the “best buy” of all these selections parcellaires. This 100% Marsanne cuvee exhibits an amazing honeyed, orange marmalade character intermixed with notions of crushed rocks, spring flowers, quince, and white currants. Full-bodied and unctuously textured yet remarkably fresh and vibrant, it should drink nicely for 15-20 years." - Robert Parker (Dec 2011)

91-93 Points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar:
"Yellow-gold. Intriguing aromas of poached pear, orange pith, white flowers and iodine, with a smoky overtone. Expansive orchard fruit flavors stain the palate and pick up spice and smoky mineral qualities with air. The iodine and floral notes linger on a long, penetrating finish. This is already showing real complexity." - Josh Raynolds (Jan/Feb '11)

92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (2008 vintage):
"The light gold-colored 2008 St.-Joseph Les Granits Blanc possesses classic Mandarin orange and crushed rock-like notes, medium to full body, fresh acids and a long finish. This evolved beauty is one of the vintage’s striking successes. Drink it over the next 4-5 years." - Robert Parker (Feb 2011)

91 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (2008 vintage):
"Bright gold. Ripe citrus fruits and herbs on the nose, with notes of anise and minerals adding complexity. Sappy, penetrating orange pith and dried pear flavors are given spine by dusty minerality and pick up a note of bee pollen with air. Rich but dry, with very good finishing clarity and spicy cut." - Josh Raynolds (Jan/Feb '11)
