Colour: Golden yellow.
Nose: Slightly mineral with floral touches of honeysuckle and lilly in its prime.
Mouth: Well-balanced. A very harmonious wine with a subtle final of spices and developing into mellowed honey.
Grape Variety: Marsanne. Selection of our oldest Marsanne vines on our best Saint-Joseph soil.
Soil: Very steep granite slopes in the south of Tournon.
Harvest: The grapes are hand-harvested once very ripe.
The vineyard was originaly established in the areas surrounding Tournon : Mauves, Saint-Jean de Muzols et Lemps, " Mauves wines " were higly reputated in the last century even as far afield as Russia, on the Tsars' dining table. Two sites had already gained respect at that time. Saint-Joseph hill-side, a parcel of land owned today by maison Chapoutier as well as that of Saint-Épine.
