M.Chapoutier Hermitage blanc Chante Alouette 2022 0,75l

M. Chapoutier Hermitage Blanc Chante-Alouette is a pure marsanne grown on slate- and silica-rich soils across several plots of the Hermitage hill. Partial ageing in oak and stainless steel creates a balance between creamy texture and vibrant freshness. The nose is complex, with quince, walnut, honey, acacia blossom and hints of ginger over a mineral backbone. On the palate Chante-Alouette is round, elegant and layered, showing supple texture, well-judged acidity and a long, almond-accented finish. Its harmony of richness and tension makes it a benchmark white Hermitage for fine fish, shellfish, sauced poultry and flavourful vegetable dishes.

Lees ageing gives the wine structure, calm and elegant depth.
