Tasting Notes

93-94
Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 May 20
Pale, glistening yellow. Meyer lemon, pear nectar and jasmine scents show excellent clarity and pick up hints of tarragon and candied ginger with air. Lively and expansive on the palate, offering intense citrus, orchard and pit fruit flavors and suave mineral and floral nuances. Shows fine delineation and spicy cut on the finish, which leaves honeysuckle and chamomile notes behind.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Joe Czerwinski - 20 Jan 22
Produced using the domaine's usual blend of 80% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne, the 2019 Saint Joseph les Oliviers Blanc is a bit richer and more honeyed than typical, marked by broad ripe flavors of pear, melon and pineapple. Medium to full-bodied and silky textured on the palate, it's balanced by a zesty, briny finish that provides delineation and lift to the ripe flavors.
