“A blend of 80% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne, the 2017 Saint Joseph Blanc Vania is medium-bodied and appears less dense than many of its peers.

Rated estate (2019 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the estate:

Rated wine (2017 guide) 88–90/100 (Excellent wine)

Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
