✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the sun-drenched slopes of the Luberon in the southern Rhône Valley, M. Chapoutier's 'La Ciboise' Blanc is a vibrant testament to the region's Mediterranean charm. The wine is typically crafted from a traditional southern blend of Grenache Blanc, Vermentino, Ugni Blanc, and Roussanne, grown on limestone and clay-silt soils. The Chapoutier family, winegrowers since 1808, named this cuvée after 'La Ciboise,' a historic family estate. Michel Chapoutier, a pioneer of biodynamics, famously includes Braille on all his labels—a tribute to the blind community and a nod to making wine accessible to all. Vinified entirely in stainless steel to preserve its bright, aromatic purity, this white wine showcases notes of white blossoms, citrus, and peach, underpinned by a refreshing mineral spine driven by the cool Alpine winds that sweep through the Luberon.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1808 in Tain-l'Hermitage in the Rhône Valley, M. Chapoutier has grown into one of France's most celebrated wine houses, propelled to international acclaim following Michel Chapoutier's visionary leadership in 1990. A pioneer in biodynamic viticulture and minimal-intervention winemaking, the estate is revered for its single-vineyard 'sélections parcellaires' that articulate the purest nuances of individual terroirs across the Rhône and beyond. Iconic for incorporating Braille script on every label since 1996, Chapoutier produces benchmark expressions of Syrah, Marsanne, and Grenache across prestigious appellations including Hermitage, Côte-Rôtie, and Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
