{"product_id":"pierre-jean-villa-st-joseph-blanc-saut-de-l-ange-2024","title":"Pierre-Jean Villa - St. Joseph Blanc \"Saut de l'Ange\" 2024","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2024 Saut de l’Ange from Pierre-Jean Villa is an exceptional Saint-Joseph Blanc: 100% Roussanne from a small plot directly above the estate in Chavanay. The last vines stand just a few centimeters from a steeply dropping rock edge – hence the name \"Saut de l’Ange,\" the Angel's Leap.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe vines grow on south to southeast-facing slopes on schist and gneiss over a granitic subsoil. After whole-cluster pressing, the must is cold-settled and then fermented in foudres, demi-muids, and stoneware. The twelve-month aging process gives the wine structure and depth without masking the Roussanne with oak.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2024 vintage proves both generous and astonishingly fresh: ripe peach, nectarine, and pear, accompanied by fine floral notes, white pepper, and a stony, spicy minerality. On the palate, it is initially creamy and supple, then increasingly taut and precise. Fine phenolic bitter notes and a salty freshness pull the wine into a long, energetic finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA white Saint-Joseph that beautifully demonstrates what Roussanne is capable of in the northern Rhône: texture and ripeness, but also tension, spice, and mineral pull. Superb with hearty fish, scallops, poultry, or a creamy risotto.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Weinstein Finewine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58574731116869,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/4950\/9041\/files\/saut-de-lange.png?v=1790009879","url":"https:\/\/weinstein-finewine.com\/en\/products\/pierre-jean-villa-st-joseph-blanc-saut-de-l-ange-2024","provider":"Weinstein Finewine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
