Collioure Bila-Haut (Domaine) Chrysopee Chapoutier 2016

The wine

The intensely golden colour of this wine presents a fruity nose of peach and ripe apricot with delicate notes of white flowers. The attack is lively with mineral and saline aromas that develop into a beautifully persistent finish. To age for ten years and serve with a dish such as risotto.

About the Producer Chapoutier

Maison Chapoutier is without doubt one of the most prestigious names in the Rhône producing some of the finest Hermitage. The domain converted its 360 hectares of vines to biodynamic viticulture, making it the largest vineyard to adopt this method of cultivation. It has held certification since 1999. Chapoutier is often one of the last estates to harvest its grapes so that they are at optimal ripeness.The Chapoutier savoir faire has spread to other vineyards in other winemaking regions: Provence, Beaujolais, Roussillon, Champagne, Alsace, Portugal but also Australia. In 1879, Polydor Chapoutier bought a few hectares of vines and started a negociant business. Seven generations have succeeded him, and Michel Chapoutier is currently at the helm, supported by his children Mathilde and Maxime. Since 1996, all the labels have been transcribed in braille.
