Produced from fruit grown in granite soils, the 2004 St.-Joseph Le Paradis St.-Pierre blanc (a neutral wood-aged blend of 90% Marsanne and 10% Roussanne) reveals floral, exotic tropical fruit notes intermixed with crushed rocks and minerals. This impressively endowed white should drink well for 5-6 years.
