| Community Tasting Notes (average 94 pts. and median of 94 pts. in 4 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Carries on 7/4/2023: We loved it! (370 views) | | | Tasted by Cailles on 3/12/2023 & rated 92 points: This is a good wine but I don’t really get Marsanne: there is not enough acidity and the wine seems too perfumed, in my opinion. But if you like the grape, you might score this higher. It was mentioned that this wine will gain a lot with age and maybe Chapoutier’s white can avoid the premox plague thanks to the wax capsule.
TN: Rather muted on the nose with some faint floral notes. On the palate this shows much more volume and aromatic density full of ripe ordchard fruit and floral aromas, some faint minerality in the background. The wine has quite a nice cut to it keeping it - relatively - fresh and fairly light on the mid palate and finish, more so than the fat/oily attack would make you think. Quite quite nice.
Decanting: A short 30-60 minutes in the decanter should be enough. (1001 views) | | | Tasted by Collector1855 on 3/11/2023 & rated 96 points: Matter of Taste 100 Point Master Class: During a MOT tasting. 100% Marsanne, Elegant palate, lemon, minerals, stone fruit, precise, not flabby or heavy at all, they nailed this one. Luis Gutierrez said that you should drink these either before 5 years or after 15. In between they often close and are in an awkward transition phase. (853 views) | | | Tasted by sirpat00 on 3/11/2023 & rated 94 points: Tasted at the Matter of Taste Zurich, Top Rated Wines of 2022 Masterclass. A 100% Marsanne from 80 year old vines on decomposed granite soils on top of the Hermitage hill. Orange zest and tangerine, bee wax with a chemical touch, mineral notes of smoke, flour and floral elements. The complexity is amazing, adding more mineraility with time in the glass. The bee wax aroma transports really nicely to the palate which is otherwise very heavy on the acidity and feels not yet ready. Probably best only in 10+ years. (625 views) |

Regional History:
Phocaean Greeks established viticulture in the Rhone as far back as 600 BC, but until the 14th century the wines were not seen outside the region. The establishment of the Avignonese Papacy (1305-1377) brought fame to the region's wine-so much so that their Burgundian neighbors to the north banned wines from the Rhone in 1446, a measure that effectively cut off trade with England and other Northern European markets for over 200 years. Stretching southward from Lyon to just south of Avignon, the Rhone produces a wide variety of wines, with the appellations north of Valence producing the least (in volume), and the towns south of Montelimar producing prodigious amounts. As in other regions, the most interesting wines come from small farms. Saint-Joseph, in the northern Rhone, extends for some distance between Condrieu in the north to Saint-Peray in the south. The reds are made from Syrah and the rare whites from Marsanne and Roussanne, and Viognier.

"The first red wines already tasted in the Northern Rhône promise a beautiful vintage, with a quality close to the 2015 or even the 2009 vintage" - NEWRHÔNE MILLESIMESHermitage Guide to Hermitage wine Guide to Cote Rotie - Read about the Northern Rhone Valley
• The appellation stretches over 3 communes in the Drôme "département" : Tain-l'Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage and Larnage.
• The soils are a combination of granite with alluvial quaternary delta deposits, and, on the eastern side, Pliocene clay. This diversity explains the numerous different names given to vineyard plots within the appellation : Bessards, Greffieux, Méal, Roucoule, Beaumes, etc.
• The meso-climate provides shelter from the north winds, where the majority of the slopes is well exposed, facing south.
•The vineyards area adds up to 134 hectares/331 acres, with an annual production of 3,635 hectoliters. Authorized maximum yield is 40 hectoliters/hectare (2.3 US tons/acres).
• Grape varieties : Syrah (an addition of up to 15% of Marsanne or Roussanne is allowed).
