Producer Information

Chapoutier, or Maison M. Chapoutier, is a winery and negociant business situated in Tain-l'Hermitage in the Rhone region in France. Chapoutier produces wine from appellations across the Rhone region, but it is typically their top Hermitage wines, both red and white, that receive the most attention and accolades.

The Roussillon area was made for Michel Chapoutier and it was in Latour de France that he set up Domaine de Bila-Haut, on a combination of soils perfectly suited to spicy Syrah, fruity Grenache and tannic Carignan – key Languedoc-Roussillon varieties – basked in the southern French sun and freshened up by the coastal ‘tramontane’ wind. Black and brown schist give the wine the sunny ripeness, gneiss minerality and freshness and limestone and chalk strength and balance.

A number of Selection Parcellaire (single vineyard selection) wines are also made at this unique domaine.

Grapes

Grenache Blanc, Vermentino

Production

The grapes are from Latour de France composed of gneiss.

70% Grenache blanc, 30% Vermentino.

After pressing, Chapoutier carries out a natural cold static settling at 10°C. Fermentation is carried out at 18°C, 70% in stainless steel vats and 30% in "demi-muids" (600L barrels). Prevention of malolactic fermentation.

9 months aging; 70% in stainless steel vats and 30% in "demi-muids" (mainly new) with "batônnage" (stirring of the lees).

Tasting Notes

Stone fruit aromas (apricot, peach), a delicately roasted floral touch, minerality and complexity. Lovely and fresh on entry, full of minerality and complexity. Well-balanced wine thanks to the freshness and the body of the white Grenache. Notes of white stone fruits with hints of vanilla.

Perfect with chicken & apricot tagine.
