Wine Details

Crozes-Hermitage Les Meysonniers Blanc 2022 6x75cl

AOP Crozes-Hermitage

'Les Meysonniers' white wine epitomizes the authentic character of Marsanne in Crozes-Hermitage. The nose is full of quince, peony and roasted almonds and the palate is fresh and supple.

Vineyards

From gently sloping, south-facing hillsides, composed of Isère river sedimentary soils and large, round pebbles.

Vintage

M. CHAPOUTIER had to “keep calm and carry on” throughout this season of drought and heat to constantly adapt the winegrowing work right up to the last minute; responding fast to curb the vegetation when the welcome rains arrived and remaining patient to allow the grapes to reach full maturity. All this made 2022 an astonishing vintage that, as it turned out, was more luminous than sunny.

Winemaking

The entire harvest is pressed directly, followed by cold settling for 48 hours. Fermentation takes place in 600 litre casks with natural yeasts. Ageing lasts for 7 to 8 months in stainless steel tanks in order to preserve the aromatic quality.

Enjoy with:

  • Grilled and Roasted White Meats
  • Fish/Shellfish
  • Salads and Picnics
  • Mild Creamy Cheeses
  • Mature Strong Cheeses

Perfect with a seafood platter.
