Robert Parker (90)

From what Gérard calls the coldest climat in the appellation, his 2019 Saint Joseph Le Blanchard—from less than a hectare of vines planted on a northeast-facing slope of red granite above Chavanay—offers copious amounts of black cherries and raspberries on the nose. Aged a year in 25% new barriques, it's medium to full-bodied yet almost delicate in feel and not oaky at all, with silky tannins and decent length on the finish.
