The beautiful 2006 St.-Joseph Deschants Blanc exhibits wonderful orange and nectarine notes with some honeyed citrus in a dry, fruity, medium-bodied style. Elegant and fresh, it should drink nicely for another 2-3 years. The great terroiriste and biodynamic farmer of the northern Rhone, Michel Chapoutier, continues to display impressive talent for turning out strong wines from the southern Rhone even though his undeniable strengths are his single-vineyard wines from the north.
