Dom. Mucyn 2015 St. Joseph Blanc "Les Carats"
The stylishness of this wine is testimony to the strides that Mucyn has made with his white wines. Roussanne
brings its own particular extravagances to the table, but Jean-Pierre shrugs them aside to craft this refined yet
succulent Rhône white that barely hints at its oak aging. Exemplary wine that will age well.

Notes from the Producer: As white « Saint-Joseph » are prized and rare, this wine deserved a special name. The word carat is taken from both the analysis of metals and gemstones and from the vernacular of Rhône boatmen. In the latter case it refers to the profits from transport that goes to the partners
