M. Chapoutier – Les Granits 2012 – Saint-Joseph

The nose is fruity, elegant and racy. It reveals notes of yellow fruits and small stone fruits combined with touches of flowers, beeswax, minerality as well as a touch of quince and a discreet hint of dried fruit. The palate is fruity, fat, relatively suave, well-constructed, well-balanced, racy, harmonious and offers a small freshness (a small fresh frame). On the palate this wine expresses notes of yellow fruit, quince and slight notes of beeswax associated with a touch of mango as well as discreet touches of dried fruits and a slight hint of almond. Good length.
