Saint Joseph blanc 2018 - Pierre Gaillard

 

Intensely fresh, complex and aromatic. Produced from Roussanne grown on the granites of the Malleval and Chavanay heights.

 

 

93/100 Parker: "The orange-scented, truffled, honey-laden 2018 Saint Joseph Blanc has that "it" factor. Full-bodied, rich and silky, it's harmonious and exotic, with ample concentration and length. It should provide delicious drinking over the next few years, perhaps longer." Drink it through 2023.

 

 

Terroir :

Surface area: 2.3 hectares.
Districts: Chavanay, Malleval (Loire).
Grape varieties: 100 % Roussanne.
Soils: Fine sand composed of  detrital granite.
Yield: 25 hl/ha.
Saint-Joseph white wines are traditionally made from a blend of Roussanne et Marsanne. Pierre Gaillard only uses Roussanne, as this variety produces wines with interesting complexity and good rich characteristics. Harvested when fully-ripened from vineyards planted in the granite-laden soils situated north of the appellation, this wine expresses complexity and good mineral features including during hot years.

 

Vinification :

Handpicked harvest, sorting of healthy and well-ripened grapes. Alcoholic fermentation in barrels. Controlled temperatures (15-18°C). Malolactic fermentation in barrels.
The low yield reinforces the richness and the aromatic complexity of the Roussanne grape variety. The wine is protected from oxidation to avoid heaviness and to bring out the terroir’s natural mineral characteristics.

 

Maturing :

7 to 8 months in fine oak from Allier and Nevers.5 % in new barrels.
The wines are matured and stirred on lees once a week during the entire period to preserve their mineral characteristics all the while enriching their structure on the palate.
Can be consumed in its youth, however will also age very well and harmoniously for 5 to 6 years.
