Bila-Haut Occultum Lapidem Blanc, Chapoutier

Grapes: 70% Grenache blanc, 30% Vermentino, organic fruit from vineyards around the village of Latour de France, hand harvested, aged for 9 months, 70% in stainless steel vats and 30% in “demi-muids” (mainly new) with “batônnage” (stirring of the lees), no malolactic.

A lovely golden hue to this wine with stone fruit aromas (apricot, peach), a delicately roasted floral touch, minerality and complexity on the nose. The palate is lovely and fresh on entry, full of minerality and complexity. Well-balanced wine thanks to the freshness and the fat of the white Grenache. Notes of white flesh fruits with hints of vanilla.
