WINE DESCRIPTION
E. Guigal Saint-Joseph Lieu-Dit Blanc is a premium white wine produced by the renowned winemaker E. Guigal. This wine comes from the Saint-Joseph appellation, which is known for its high-quality wines. The grapes used to make this wine are grown in a single vineyard, or lieu-dit, which gives the wine a unique character and flavor profile. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and aging in oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and depth. The resulting wine is a beautifully balanced and elegant white wine with a rich texture, vibrant acidity, and notes of citrus, white flowers, and minerality. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate premium white wines with a distinct sense of place.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This E. Guigal Saint-Joseph Lieu-Dit Blanc is a surprisingly fresh and vibrant white expression of Saint-Joseph.On the nose, it offers up aromas of fresh citrus and white flowers, while the palate is marked by a mineral-driven core that is lifted by notes of white peach and honeydew melon. The finish is crisp and clean, with a lingering hint of minerality.

ORIGINS
Winery: E. Guigal
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
