Description
In a nutshell:
This southern Rhône white might be a touch too posh for a picnic rug, but it's bursting with summery charm and a hint of something intriguingly exotic.
The lowdown:
This little Luberon from Chapoutier is all about understated elegance. It's pale yellow with the faintest whisper of green, a glass that whispers of summer meadows. The first sniff is pure delight - a burst of citrus zest that mingles with the gentle perfume of white flowers. Take a sip and you're met with a surge of freshness, a lively dance on the tongue with a touch of minerality that keeps things interesting. But here's the clever bit - it's not all zing and zest. There's a lovely roundness to it too, a surprising depth that keeps you coming back for more. Chapoutier, of course, knows a thing or two about these southern French vineyards. They use a blend of local grapes, most likely Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, and maybe a touch of Vermentino, all hand-harvested and vinified with meticulous care. The result? A balanced beauty, a glass of sunshine for a thoroughly decent price.
The Producer:
Indisputably one of the Rhône's greats, M. Chapoutier boasts a rich history dating back to 1808 in Tain l'Hermitage. The estate's holdings are impressive, spanning the length of the Rhône and beyond, even reaching Australia. Yet, it's the arrival of Michel Chapoutier in 1990 that marks a turning point. His championing of biodynamic viticulture, coupled with exceptional vineyard sites, catapulted Chapoutier back to the top tier of Rhône producers. Their commitment to natural practices is absolute - no herbicides or pesticides, and a belief in biodiversity within the vineyards. Interestingly, their labels feature Braille since the mid-1990s. Today, they own Europe's largest biodynamic vineyard and create some of the Rhône's most iconic wines. Driven by Michel's energy, Chapoutier continues to acquire prime vineyards, cementing their status as a leader in the region.
When to drink:
A crisp, vibrant wine for a summer evening - just the thing for salmon, whether it's a simple poached fillet or a smoky barbecued steak.
