M. CHAPOUTIER Ermitage Le Meal Blanc, Hermitage 2016 Bottle
About this wine
Le Méal Blanc, liquid gold Hermitage
From one of Chapoutier’s superlative sélections parcellaires in the Northern Rhône comes the Ermitage Le Méal Blanc. Le Méal sits at a reasonably high elevation, with chalk and alluvial gravelly soil that births wines with great aroma and elegance. Composed of 100% destemmed Marsanne, fruit is harvested at full ripeness. It is floral and honeyed on the nose. It can be drunk young, but patience will reward. In old French, ‘Le Méal’ translates to ‘the best’. Here, it is a fitting nomenclature.

M.Chapoutier
M. Chapoutier is a renowned producer in the northern Rhône valley, producing a diverse array of benchmark wines from the region’s most prestigious appellations. The Chapoutier family has roots in the region dating from 1808; however it is under the current leadership of winemaker Michel Chapoutier that quality at the estate has soared. Since taking over the family firm, Michel Chapoutier has overseen the dramatic transformation of the estate’s vineyards to biodynamic practices. Winemaking philosophy has also changed significantly with a more sensitive oak regime now in place to allow the wine’s character to show through. The wines are also bottled unfined and unfiltered. M.Chapoutier is famous both for the "téte de cuvées" wines from old vine vineyards including La Mordorée and Hermitage La Pavillon and its range of rare Sélections Parcellaires; celebrated single-vineyard wines from the Northern Rhone’s most site, the Hill of Hermitage.
