"Light, bright yellow. Meyer lemon, pear nectar and jasmine scents show fine definition and pick up suggestions of tarragon and beeswax with air. Lively and precise on the palate, offering pliant citrus and orchard fruit flavors and a deeper suggestion of nectarine that builds on the back half. Shows very good clarity and mineral cut on the strikingly long finish, which leaves a sexy floral note behind. Gononâs white Saint-Joseph is a touchstone wine for the region but the rare, tiny-production Chasselas, made from 100+-year-old vines, is also an attention-grabber. In a typical vintage only two demi-muids are produced, making it a rarity and a highly allocated wine, even more so than the Saint-Joseph. Pierre and Jean Gonon build their Saint-Joseph blanc for the long haul and are fond of opening ten-year-old and older bottles to make the case for the wineâs ageworthiness."
