Product Notes

The M. Chapoutier Hermitage Chante-Alouette wine is a splendid expression of France's Rhône Valley. This sumptuous white blend presents a vibrant straw hue, exuding an intoxicating bouquet of lychee, honeysuckle, and subtle spices, paired with a hint of citrus peel. Its full-bodied palate envelops one in a rich crescendo of peach, pear, and toasted almond notes, seamlessly intertwined with vibrant acidity. A lingering finish of mineral undertones showcases the distinct terroir of Hermitage. Crafted for immediate enjoyment or cellaring, this French masterpiece carries the undeniable signature of M. Chapoutier's expertise.

Tasting Notes

Chante-Alouette is a beautiful example of a Hermitage wine. Brilliant, green gold in colour with complex and subtle nose, aromas of quince, walnut, honey, ginger, acacia with a hint of linden-tree. On the palate it is pronounced with great balance and structure, with long finish with notes of almond.
