From the sun-drenched slopes of Hermitage, M. Chapoutier’s “Le Méal” Blanc 2016 is a benchmark expression of 100% Marsanne, sourced from vines over 50 years old. Crafted under the visionary leadership of Michel Chapoutier, this single-vineyard wine reflects a deep commitment to terroir, precision, and biodynamic philosophy.

The Méal hillside’s ancient alluvial soils, rich in stones and shingles, enhance heat retention and contribute to the wine’s signature power and ripeness. The 2016 vintage reveals a compelling duality—both opulent and refined—showcasing the richness of Marsanne while maintaining freshness, minerality, and remarkable aging potential.

Appearance: Brilliant golden hue with luminous clarity.

Aroma: Complex and expressive, opening with notes of vanilla, toasted almonds, and dried fruits. Layers of linden blossom, minerality, and subtle peat unfold alongside exotic hints of roasted pineapple, mango, and a delicate mocha nuance.

Palate: Broad and generous on entry, with a creamy, velvety texture. Flavors of ripe orchard fruit and tropical notes intertwine with savory touches of celery and a faint herbal edge. The wine’s richness is beautifully balanced by vibrant acidity and underlying minerality, reflecting both strength and finesse.

Finish: Long and persistent, with lingering notes of nuts, exotic fruits, and a gentle, elegant bitterness that adds structure and sophistication.
