M. Chapoutier Ermitage Le Méal Blanc 2022
From Maison M. Chapoutier in Tain-l’Hermitage, Northern Rhône, the Ermitage Le Méal Blanc 2022 is a refined Marsanne from 50-year-old vines on south-facing, shingle and clay terraces in the Le Méal lieu-dit. Hand-harvested from organic and biodynamic vineyards, it’s aged 10–12 months in oak casks (25% new) with lees stirring, offering a golden hue with vibrant complexity.
Tasting Notes
A rich, elegant white with mineral and fruit finesse, showcasing Hermitage’s terroir.
The nose reveals white peach, roasted pineapple, and orange marmalade, with hints of lemon verbena, flinty smoke, and minerality. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and concentrated, with vibrant acidity, a silky texture, and flavors of stone fruit, spice, and a long, saline finish.
Food Pairings
Pair this white with Western dishes like roasted poultry or creamy risotto to highlight its rich fruit and minerality. For Chinese cuisine, try 蒸鮮蝦餃, 清蒸石斑魚, 蟹鉗, 醬爆肉丁, 椒鹽九肚魚, or 豉椒炒蜆 to complement its vibrant acidity and waxy texture. Ideal for elegant dinners or seafood feasts.
Serving and Cellaring
Serve chilled at 12°C in a narrow glass to enhance aromas. Enjoy now or cellar until 2042 for added complexity. Explore our Hermitage collection for more Marsanne classics.
