95/100 Parker
Drink date : 2028 - 2044
"Entirely crafted from Marsanne, the 2024 Saint-Joseph Blanc Le Berceau is a superb rendition of this excellent terroir, revealing aromas of herbs, white flowers, ripe orchard fruits and spices mingled with delicate minty notes. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and layered, it’s sappy and enveloping, built around a lively, fleshy core of fruit framed by racy acidity. It concludes with a long, ethereal finish enhanced by a well-judged gastronomic bitterness. "
