2022 Famille de Boel Rue de Poulies Saint Joseph Blanc, France

Rue de Poulies Saint Joseph Blanccomes from a small parcel of fruit located in the St. Jean de Muzols area of Saint Joseph, this white is a 50/50 blend of Marsanne and Roussanne. The wine is racked 3 times in total before bottling, once after the pressing, once after the natural fermentation is complete, and once before bottling. Aging with the lees, and then some added time aging in bottle gives extraordinary texture and nuance to the final wine. Aromas of honeysuckle, yellow pear, almond, and stone unfold from the glass with a barrage of depth; young and primary, yet quite deep and complex. In the mouth there is freshness, like mountain mist, but thick with the nuance that the nose gave hints of, riddled with fully ripe stone fruits, clean acidity, and a long mineral driven finish.
