Tasting notes:
Citrus aromas and notes of grapefruits and ripe fruits on the nose. Palate: broad and fruity on entry. Lovely aromas of ripe fruit, enhanced by a nice acidity, giving the wine good length on the palate.
About the wine:
In order to achieve a balanced and complex vintage, the vineyards we have selected are cultivated on clay and calcareous hillsides. This type of location provides favourable sun exposure conditions on the hillsides as well as sufficient water reserves in the limestone earth so that the vineyards can reach its desired maturity.
Carefully harvested at night to protect the grapes from oxidization, the result is a richer yet fresher wine. Pressed, no maceration and fermented at low temperature. As soon as femrentation is complete, the wine is cooled and left to mature on their lees to reinforce the minerality of the wine.
About the producer:
One of the oldest companies in the Rhône Valley, dating back to the first vineyards in 1879. The well known estate is now driven by Michel Chapoutier – the biodynamic pioneer of the region.
Food match:
Try with summer vegetable mini-crumbles, seafood kebabs or tagliatelle pasta and vegetables
