The estate and the wine |
|
|
Renowned winemaker, at the head of one of the most esteemed estates of the Rhone Valley region, Michel Chapoutier presides over a phenomenal collection of Crus. His talent as a winemaker and his unique knowledge of the vineyard enables him to find the best terroirs for his wines. Of amazing consistency throughout each vintage, his wines are beautiful representations of their appellations. A model winemaker whose talent we are continuously in awe of, especially on the Hermitage terroir, his favorite land, where he produces outstanding plot-based wines. These terroir wines are the height of complexity and refinement, made for aging and emotion. |

A renowned parcel, the 2019 white Hermitage Chante-Alouette is a fabulous introduction to this terroir. The superb nose shows a remarkable level of ripeness and is a credit to its origin. The palate stretches on a beautiful fatness, with a formidable volume in a very mature aromatic profile among yellow fruit notes devoid of any exuberance, a mineral touch, and a finely buttered and melted finish. A rich and complex universe, without any heaviness of style, which has nothing to envy to the greatest Burgundies! Olivier Poussier was smitten and rated it 95/100. A wine to be savored with refined dishes, such as risotto with white truffles, veal rice with cream, or lobster with spices. |
