🌟 A mystical, biodynamic expression of Viognier—elegant, textural, and strikingly true to place.

👁 In the Glass:
Pale gold with silvery glints—shimmering and pure.

👃 On the Nose:
Delicate and perfumed, with aromas of apricot, orange blossom, and white peach layered with hints of honeysuckle, crushed stone, and a touch of flint.

👅 On the Palate:
Refined and silky, this Viognier offers flavours of citrus curd, ripe pear, and apricot skin wrapped in a mineral core. A subtly creamy texture is balanced by a backbone of fresh acidity, and the finish lingers with notes of wet stone and soft spice.

🍽 Food Pairing:
A perfect pairing for seared scallops, crab cakes, roasted chicken with tarragon, or tagine with apricots and almonds. Also delicious with soft cheeses or as an elegant apéritif.

⏳ Enjoyment Window:
Beautiful now, but will evolve gracefully over 3–5 years, gaining depth and complexity.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
M. Chapoutier’s La Combe Pilate is Viognier reimagined—fermented in concrete, guided by biodynamics, and expressive of its hillside terroir. It’s a wine of quiet intensity and natural balance, where science and alchemy meet to create something both elemental and exquisite. A must-try for lovers of textured, terroir-driven whites.
