Tasting notes
The 1998 St.-Joseph Les Granits blanc offers an explosive bouquet consisting of orange liqueur intermixed with honeysuckle, peach, and acacia flowers. Full-bodied, with layers of concentration, lively acidity, and a compelling finish, it should drink well for a decade. Importer: Paterno Imports, Lake Bluff, IL; tel. (847) 604-89000

Superripe aromas of roasted apple, clove and minerals. Rich, fat and dense; just short of topheavy. Softer acids than the Chante Alouette. Finishes with noteworthy length.
