Wine:

Blend of two villages on very distinct geologies, the 2020 White Saint-Joseph Les Pilandiers made from limestone and granite soils has a crystalline spirit and spherical texture. This pure Marsanne wine perfectly combines fine mineral bitters and a fairly taut structure, thanks to the granite, with a great amplitude in the palate provided by the limestone. Harmonious and deeply sapid - two assets that are the hallmark of great wines - this is a work of art. Discover this extraordinary Saint-Joseph!
