Tasting notes
Pale gold. Ripe orchard and pit fruits on the fragrant nose, which gains vivacity from a smoky mineral quality. Plush, warm and expansive in the mouth, offering poached pear, honey and fennel flavors that turn livelier with air. Rich yet vibrant in character, finishing with solid mineral punch and lingering smokiness.

Like the 2013, the 2014 Saint Joseph La Source Blanc is an outstanding wine (100% Marsanne) that was brought up mostly in stainless steel (20% in demi-muids). It offers lots of quince, white currants and hints of toasted bread in a beautifully pure, layered, yet overall fresh, crisp style that keeps you coming back to the glass. It’s another solid value to enjoy over the coming 3-4 years.
