WINE DESCRIPTION
M. Chapoutier Saint-Joseph Les Granits Blanc is a premium white wine produced by the renowned winemaker Michel Chapoutier. The wine comes from the Saint-Joseph appellation in the northern Rhône region of France, which is known for its steep granite slopes that produce wines with great minerality and complexity. The Les Granits vineyard, from which the wine is sourced, is particularly notable for its granite soil and south-facing exposure, which allows for optimal ripening of the grapes. The wine is made using traditional winemaking techniques, including fermentation in oak barrels, which adds richness and depth to the wine. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of the terroir, with notes of citrus, white flowers, and a subtle minerality.

ORIGINS
Winery: M. Chapoutier
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
