إي غيغال سان جوزيف 'ليو-دي-سان جوزيف' بلان 2012، رون

Opened it last night and the minerality from the Roussanne cuts right through the honeyed Marsanne. Drinking beautifully now with a grilled fish dinner.

Opened this 2012 last night and the Marsanne really dominates in the best way—rich, almost honeyed, yet still bright. The blend with just 7% Roussanne gives it a structure I wasn't expecting from a white this age. Perfect for a slow evening with roasted chicken.

I opened the 2012 Lieu-Dit Blanc last night, and that Marsanne-Roussanne blend really delivers a complex, smoky depth I wasn’t expecting. The mouthfeel is rich without being heavy, though it could use another year or two to fully open up. Still, a very satisfying white for the price.
