Chapoutier Hermitage \"Chante-Alouette\" is a luscious and complex white wine that truly embodies the essence of the Hermitage terroir. It is made from 100% Marsanne grapes that are hand-harvested, carefully sorted, and fermented using indigenous yeasts. On the nose, this wine presents aromas of ripe peaches, honey, and hazelnuts, coupled with floral notes of acacia and honeysuckle. The palate is rich and full-bodied, showcasing flavours of peach, apricot, and baked apple, along with a hint of vanilla.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e100% Marsanne\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFermentation with indigenous yeasts, mostly in half-muids, barrels (80% of which 10% new) and stainless steel vats (20%).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAged on lees for 10 months with occasional stirring.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJancis Robinson - 16.5\/20 Pts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #f0f0f0; padding: 16px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCellaring:  \u003c\/strong\u003eIdeal Now through 2031\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #f0f0f0; padding: 16px; border-radius: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing: \u003c\/strong\u003e Perfect with \u003cspan\u003eroast chicken, monkfish or creamy mushroom dishes.

Chapoutier stands as an undisputed giant of the Rhône Valley, with a history stretching back to 1808. While their vineyard holdings are vast - spanning the Rhône and reaching as far as Australia - the crucial turning point was the arrival of\u003cstrong\u003e Michel Chapoutier\u003c\/strong\u003e in 1990. His uncompromising dedication to\u003cstrong\u003e biodynamic viticulture - \u003c\/strong\u003eeschewing all herbicides and pesticides and fostering biodiversity - catapulted the estate back to the top echelon. Today, Chapoutier owns Europe’s largest biodynamic vineyard, and its commitment is evident, even extending to featuring Braille on all labels since the mid-1990s. Driven by Michel’s energy and continuous acquisition of prime sites, Chapoutier consistently produces some of the Rhône's most iconic and revered wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.custom-html-container,\n.custom-html-container * {\n  background-color: transparent !important;\n  box-shadow: none !important;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Remove any inherited top margin *\/\n  \n}\n\n.custom-html-container {\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Ensure container has no top space *\/\n  padding-top: 0 !important;\n}\n\n.custom-html-container .global-button {\n  background-color: #35174D !important;\n  color: #ffffff !important;\n  border: 2px solid #35174D !important;\n  display: inline-flex;\n  padding: 25px 40px;\n  font-family: Futura, sans-serif;\n  font-size: 14px;\n  font-weight: 400;\n  line-height: 110%;\n  text-decoration: none;\n  cursor: pointer;\n  transition: background-color 0.3s ease, color 0.3s ease;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Explicitly remove top margin *\/\n}\n  \n.custom-html-container .global-button:hover {\n  background-color: #ffffff !important;\n  color: #35174D !important;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;\" class=\"custom-html-container\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"global-button\" href=\"\/collections\/m-chapoutier\"\u003eBrowse our M.Chapoutier Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"M.
