    Notes and pairings

    Tasting notes

    This Hermitage white wine is the perfect accompaniment to refined dishes such as roasted langoustines, poultry in a cream sauce, or aged cheeses like Comté. Serve it slightly chilled, at a temperature of 12°C, to fully appreciate its complexity and balance.

    Food & wine pairings

    Ce vin se marie parfaitement avec des fruits de mer, des plats à base de volaille ou un fromage de chèvre affiné.

    Le vignoble du domaine M. Chapoutier s'étend sur des terrasses surplombant le Rhône, bénéficiant d'un ensoleillement optimal. Les sols, composés de granit et d'argile, sont idéaux pour la culture de cépages nobles. La diversité des microclimats et des expositions permet d'obtenir des raisins d'une qualité exceptionnelle. Chaque parcelle est soigneusement travaillée, respectant les cycles naturels, pour révéler tout le potentiel du terroir. C'est cette attention aux détails qui confère aux vins une identité forte et authentique.

    Owner and history

    The grapes used to make the "De l'Orée" Single-Site Selection come from the Murets plot. The soil is composed of very old fluvio-glacial alluvium. Organic and Biodynamic.

    Vinification and aging

    After pressing, the must is cold-settled for approximately 24 hours. About 50% is vinified in demi-muids with regular lees stirring, the remainder in tanks. The wine is aged on its lees with regular stirring for 6 months. Before bottling, the barrel aging process is monitored through frequent tastings. Aging lasts from 10 to 12 months.
