You can put the 2022 Saint Joseph Les Granits Blanc in the top handful of whites in the appellation, and it would do just fine in a lineup of great Hermitage for that matter. Its medium-gold hue is followed by riveting notes of honeyed flowers, white peach, crushed stone, and orange marmalade. It's medium to full-bodied, has a fresh, focused, vibrant mouthfeel, that brighter acidity that's common in many of Chapoutier's 2022s, and a great finish. Give bottles 2-3 years and enjoy over the following decade.
