Description
Combe Pilate Biodynamic Viognier, IGP Collines Rhodaniennes, M Chapoutier, Rhone, France, 2022
Grape: 100% Viognier, unoaked, fruit from Chapoutier's personal estate.
Certified organic and biodynamic. Whole-bunch pressed. Fermentation followed by 8–9 months' ageing in demi-muids (600-litre barrels) previously used for one or several vintages. Undergoes malolactic conversion. Very light stirring up of the lees during the first months of ageing.
This dry white wine is delicate with aromatic notes of bergamot and flint stone. Very fresh on entry, dominated by the typical Viognier character. On the mid-palate, there is good balance between the acidic tension associated with its terroir of origin and the natural full body of the varietal and its ageing. The finish is savoury, bringing out the rustic and mineral overtones.
Awarded 91/100 points by James Suckling
Recommended to accompany a wok of monkfish with green curry, star anise & crisp vegetables (bell onions, peas).
