A blend of 90% Marsanne and 10% Roussanne, aged 12 months in barrel with weekly lees stirring, the 2023 Saint Joseph Paradis Saint Pierre Blanc offers melon, orange blossom, mint flowers, and crushed stone aromatics. Medium to full-bodied, with beautiful focus and concentration, it has a brilliant, clean character that will evolve gracefully. Drink bottles over the coming 4-6 years. Drink 2025-2031.

A blend of 95% Marsanne and 5% Roussanne, the 2023 Saint-Joseph Le Paradis Saint-Pierre Blanc evokes aromas of almond blossoms, ripe orchard fruits, spices and nuts, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and enveloping palate with a sweet core of fruit and delicate acidity, concluding with a long, ethereal finish. It's an elegant rendition of this dry vintage.
