✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Crafted by the legendary Rhône pioneer Michel Chapoutier, the Combe Pilate Viognier is a brilliant expression of the Collines Rhodaniennes. The name 'Combe Pilate' pays homage to local folklore surrounding Pontius Pilate, who legend says was exiled to the nearby ancient city of Vienne. Grown on steep slopes with granitic soils, this 100% Viognier benefits from Chapoutier's commitment to biodynamic farming. The granite terroir imparts a vital mineral tension that beautifully balances the grape's natural opulence. Vinified with careful lees stirring in a mix of stainless steel and large oak casks, the wine showcases a signature aromatic profile of white peach, apricot, and delicate violet, supported by a rich yet remarkably fresh texture.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
M. Chapoutier blev grundlagt i 1808 i Tain-l'Hermitage i Rhônedalen og har siden udviklet sig til et af Frankrigs mest berømte vinhuse. Husets internationale stjernestatus tog for alvor fart, da Michel Chapoutier overtog roret i 1990 med sin kompromisløse vision. Som pioner inden for biodynamisk vindyrkning og minimal intervention i vinkælderen er ejendommen særligt hyldet for sine enkeltmarks-aftapninger, 'sélections parcellaires', der formidler de fineste terroiregenskaber på tværs af Rhône og andre vinregioner. Chapoutier, der siden 1996 ikonisk har haft punktskrift (blindeskrift) på alle etiketter, skaber referencepunkter for druer som Syrah, Marsanne og Grenache i prestigiøse appellationer som Hermitage, Côte-Rôtie og Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
