2010 Chapoutier St. Joseph Les Granits Blanc

Decanted. Takes a while to open up. 13.5% abv. 432 case production. 

Old vines Marsanne from granite soils in Tournon. Oily texture (moderate viscosity), stony citrus fruit, beeswax, ginger... slight pear and petrol notes on spicy finish with a nice pop of acidity.  Nose is a bit shy with light florals.

Paired this with fig cake, gruyere and honeycomb. Out of this world tasty  :)
