Tasting notes
Colour is golden yellow. Nose of mineral with floral overtones of honeysuckle and lily in its youth, Tabasco, wax, honey. Palate well-balanced. A very harmonious wine with a subtle final of spices developing into honey with ageing. According to the vintage, the wine can be kept from 30 to 60 years.

The story began with Michel Chapoutier, a unique man with a thirst for knowledge, definitely one of a kind. Michel is openminded and always willing to learn. He seeks to discover and reflect the full potential of his terroirs and let the soils express their true character. That which gives the wines their signature style. This now forms the basis of the M. CHAPOUTIER ethos and our team strives to reveal the very best of what the soils have to offer.
Very steep granite slopes in the south of Tournon. Pressing of the whole grapes. Cold settling between 24 and 48 hours. Half of the wine is fermented in vats, the other part in big wooden barrels (600 liters). Ageing takes place on lees from 8 to 10 months, with stirrings. The two parts are blending before bottling.
