Saint-Joseph Blanc 2021 Domaine Vincent et Alexandre Cluzel

Saint-Joseph Blanc

黄桃とアカシアが重なる、北ローヌの白。

マルサンヌ75%にルーサンヌ25%を合わせた、サン・ジョセフの白です。力強く豊かなアロマが開き、黄桃やミラベル、マルメロのゼリーを思わせる香りから、エニシダやアカシアの花のフローラルなノートへと移ろいます。最後にほのかな甘さを伴うバニラのタッチが加わり、複雑さが完成。エレガンスと繊細さに満ちた口当たりに、まろやかさとフレッシュさ、軽い塩味が調和します。アスパラガスやリードヴォーと。

Tasting note

The powerful and rich aromas blossom. First, you will notice yellow peach, plum and quince jelly, followed by floral notes and acacia flowers. Finally, you will notice hints of vanilla and sweet notes, completing the beautiful and complex aromas. The taste is elegant and sophisticated. It is balanced between mellowness and freshness, with a touch of saltiness.

Winemaking & technical data

Located on a south-facing slope at an altitude of 300 metres on the Chavanay plateau and in the village of Malleval

The grapes are hand-picked and sorted in the vineyard. The early-ripening Marsanne is harvested first, followed by the Roussanne. The pressing and débourbage are carried out at low temperatures.

Two fermentations then take place: one with wild yeasts at 15°C, and the other alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in oak barrels.

The Roussanne and Marsanne are aged separately in oak barrels for nine months, without batonnage (stirring), and then blended before bottling.
