Located in the Northern Rhône region of Saint Joseph near the town of Saint Désirat, you will find the humble farmer Jean-Pierre Monier.  His father had previously sold the grapes to the local cooperative, however the noticeable quality of the fruit his vines were producing was enough for him to start his own label. In 2008 Jean-Pierre combined his resources with Philippe Perréol in order to help meet the market demand for this tiny domaine. Together they have formed Domaine Monier-Perreol in addition to their individual labels.  He has long been in accordance with biodynamic calendar, minimal SO2 & intervention in his wine make process.  

Monier-Perreol produces their Saint Joseph Blanc entirely from Marsanne vines approximately 35 years in age. The wine goes through full malolactic fermentation and is then aged in only used oak barrels for up to a year. The result is a wine of depth and purity of fruit, with no new oak influence, and excellent preservation of acidity.
