M. Chapoutier Les Granilites Saint-Joseph 2021

Wild berries, roasted meat, smoke, black pepper and some leather, too. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins. Lots of violets on the palate giving it a very delicate and elegant character all along. Bright with crisp acidity and a precise, focused finish. Very mineral and granite-driven. Drink or hold. Score – 94. (jamessuckling.com, May 22, 2023)
