A full-bodied and complex Ermitage white wine
The estate
Established since 1808 in Tain-L'Hermitage, the M. Chapoutier House embodies today the elite of the greatest names in wines from the Rhône Valley.
As a winemaker and merchant, Michel Chapoutier has managed over the vintages to lead this family business to the top. The wines of Maison Chapoutier are recognized for their refinement and high quality by the most discerning connoisseurs beyond borders. A man of many hats, Michel Chapoutier holds the world record for 100/100 scores awarded by American critic Robert Parker. Mathilde, Michel Chapoutier's daughter, has taken up the torch of this iconic house, overseeing a vineyard of over 350 hectares across the most prestigious appellations of the northern and southern Rhône Valley.
The vineyard
A parcel selection, this De l'Orée 2019 cuvée from M. Chapoutier is a white wine from the Rhône Valley made from grapes from the Murets parcel, which is unique for its soil composed of very ancient fluvio-glacial alluvium. These old vines, averaging 60 to 70 years old, are known for their low yields, producing high-quality wines.
Vinification and aging
Manual harvest at full maturity. Pressing followed by a settling of the musts in the cold for about 24 hours. The vinification is carried out to about 50% in demi-muids with regular stirring and 50% in vats. This Ermitage wine benefits from an aging of 10 to 12 months, including 6 months on lees with regular stirring.
Blend
Marsanne (100%).
Characteristics and tasting advice for the De l'Orée 2019 cuvée from M. Chapoutier
Tasting
Color
Brilliant, the color reveals an intense golden yellow, with golden and green reflections.
Nose
The nose seduces with its rich aromatic palette. Fruity (ripe) and floral (acacia, hawthorn) aromas combine with notes of hot stones, caramel, and lemon.
Palate
A full-bodied attack precedes a complex palate. Aromas of ripe fruit, spices, and toast stretch harmoniously to a persistent finish of lively freshness.
