ABOUT THE WINE
The 2021 “Les Meysonniers” Crozes-Hermitage Blanc from M. Chapoutier is a classic northern Rhône white crafted primarily from Marsanne, showcasing the variety’s richness while maintaining freshness and precision. Sourced from organically farmed vineyards in Crozes-Hermitage, the wine reflects the region’s granite and alluvial soils, which contribute both texture and mineral complexity.
The bouquet reveals expressive aromas of ripe orchard fruit, citrus peel, white flowers, and subtle honeyed notes. On the palate, flavors of pear, apricot, and lemon curd unfold alongside hints of toasted nuts and crushed stone. Careful fermentation and lees aging add depth and creaminess without overwhelming the wine’s vibrant acidity and elegant structure.
“Les Meysonniers” highlights Chapoutier’s dedication to terroir transparency and balanced winemaking. Rich yet focused, the wine pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, seafood in cream sauces, grilled lobster, mushroom dishes, or aged alpine cheeses.
