Tasting notes
A blend of Grenache Blanc, Vermentino, Ugni Blanc and Rousanne, all from sustainable vineyards, this wine features the aroma of white blossom, lemon and exotic fruit. The fresh flavors and round texture are perfectly balanced, with a long finish. Enjoy with fish, shellfish, and salads such as shrimp or a fresh goat’s cheese salad. Perfect also for picnics with mild creamy cheeses.
Estate
With roots dating back to 1808, M. CHAPOUTIER is one of the oldest companies in the Rhône Valley. Yet, its world renown and the quality of wine can truly be accredited to the arrival of Michel Chapoutier in 1990. His willingness to change the set way, thirst for knowledge and open-mindedness, together with his drive to seek, discover and reflect the full potential of our terroirs, letting the soils express their true character, has put our wines firmly on the wine world map. This philosophy is what gives our wines their signature style, forms the basis of the M. CHAPOUTIER ethos and drives our team to reveal the very best of what the soils have to offer.
Vineyard
As the selected vines are planted in Miocene sands and limestone scree of altitude 200 for 450 metres, they are subject to a wide range of temperatures over the day which gives the wine its freshness.
Vinification
Harvesting is carried out at night, by machine, to limit oxidation and preserve the aromatic qualities. Total destemming followed by a gentle pressing. Cold static settling. Low temperature alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel vats. The wine is protected from oxygen to preserve its aromatic potential.
