Wine Description:
M. Chapoutier Ermitage de l'Orée is a highly sought-after white wine produced by the renowned producer Michel Chapoutier. This wine comes from the Ermitage appellation, which is known for its steep, terraced vineyards that produce exceptional grapes. The vineyard features granite soils and is situated on a south-facing slope, which allows for optimal sun exposure. The winemaking process involves hand-harvesting and careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a rich and complex white wine with notes of honey, apricot, and vanilla. It is a perfect example of the high-quality wines that can be produced in the Ermitage appellation.

Wine Expert Note:

This Rhône Valley white from M. Chapoutier is a luxurious singular expression of the Marsanne grape. It has an inviting nose of ripe peach, almond, and quince, with a touch of honeyed acacia. On the palate, it shows a full body and a great balance of acidity and sweetness of fruit, with flavors of honey and nougat. The finish is long, with a lingering note of stony minerality. An excellent wine, this Ermitage de l'Orée will pair well with fish, poultry, and lighter cheeses. Drink now for its sense of balance but cellar for between 10 and 20 years to see it optimal expression.
