Saint-Joseph Dimanche à Lima Julien Pilon 2023
The wine
This is a blend from six parcels spanning the north and south of the appellation, which comprise sandy, granite and limestone soils. The Roussanne and Marsanne grapes are grown using integrated vine management techniques and deliver floral and honeyed notes. Its heft on the palate is balanced by a pleasing tension and the long finish boasts fine bitter hints. This white Saint-Joseph is undoubtedly tailor-made to accompany gourmet cuisine.
After learning the winemaker's craft in various vineyards in the Roussillon region and Spain, Julien Pilon returned to his native Condrieu. Since 2010, he has been producing white Saint-Joseph using grapes which he buys in and then vinifies in his own cellar in Condrieu. In addition to buying 7 hectares of grapes, he has 1.5 hectares of his own vines. These white grape varieties (Marsanne and Roussanne) grow on local granite soils and produce wines of great finesse which are also very precise.
