M. Chapoutier Saint Joseph 'Les Granits' Blanc 2022
Vintage Character
Maison M. Chapoutier Saint-Joseph "Les Granits" Blanc 2022 is a Sélection Parcellaire Saint-Joseph blanc from the northern Rhône, made from Marsanne on the steep granitic slopes around Tournon-sur-Rhône. The 2022 vintage was marked by heat and dryness, which reduced yields and produced concentrated, ripe fruit, yet the best northern Rhône whites retained freshness and definition, making this a notably strong vintage for the style. Its origin is the key to its identity: poor granite soils, dramatic hillside exposure, and old-vine material combine to give the wine both breadth and a firm mineral spine.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
On the nose, expect white peach, apricot, acacia blossom and hawthorn, layered with citrus oil, almond and a stony, almost wet-granite note. The palate is full-bodied and textural rather than heavy, with ripe orchard fruit, gentle honeyed richness, lees-derived creaminess and a line of mineral tension that carries through a long, savory finish. This is a white Rhône of power and precision, suited to dishes such as roast turbot with beurre blanc, veal in a light cream sauce, or seared scallops with cauliflower purée.
Winery Background
Founded in 1808 in Tain-l’Hermitage, M. Chapoutier has become one of the Rhône’s benchmark estates, especially under Michel Chapoutier, whose biodynamic, terroir-first philosophy reshaped the house’s identity. The estate is known for meticulous parcel selection, hand-harvesting on steep slopes, and a commitment to expressing site before technique; its labels also famously include Braille. For Les Granits Blanc, that philosophy translates into fruit from a singular granitic hillside, careful élevage on lees with oak used for texture rather than dominance, and a style that captures both the generosity of Marsanne and the tensile signature of Saint-Joseph granite.
