More orange blossom, marmalade, mango and nectarine aromas jump from the glass of the impressive 2009 St.-Joseph blanc. Made in a richer, riper style, it is primarily Marsanne. Director Guy Sarton de Joncquey continues to upgrade virtually every wine being produced at Vidal Fleury. Working from a sparkling new facility, this property is moving toward earlier bottling to preserve the wines’ freshness and fruit, and quality is clearly on the upswing, as evidenced by issue #197’s report on their extensive negociant business in the southern Rhone.
