Lot #854. M. Chapoutier Saint-Joseph Les Granits Blanc 2006

Description: Consists of 2 Bottles, 0.75L
Region: France, Rhône, St. Joseph.
Score: 96 WA.
"A wine that punches well above its price point is the 2006 St Joseph les Granits Blanc, and Northern Rhône lovers should buy this cuvee in just about every vintage. Offering lots of complexity in its buttered citrus, apple, white truffle, celery and savory aromas and flavors, this beauty is full-bodied, rich and textured on the palate. Like the other whites from this team, it’s drinking perfectly today, yet should keep for at least another decade or more. Having said that, why push a good thing? Drink!" Wine Advocate #229, Mar 2017
Provenance: The Sea Cliff Cellar
Notes: 1 x less than 2cm, 1 x 3cm, 1 lightly cracked wax capsule, 1 sign of slight past seepage.
