White dry
Chapoutier Crozes-Hermitage Blanc “Les Meysonniers” – a refined, elegant, and mineral-driven Northern Rhône ‘Marsanne’ where precision and character take center stage. “Les Meysonniers” is one of the most recognized white Crozes-Hermitage wines from M. Chapoutier, crafted exclusively from organically farmed vineyards.
In the glass, it opens with notes of citrus, pear, and quince, followed by white flowers, peony, and toasted almond nuances. On the palate, the wine is fresh and pure, with a delicate texture, marked by a saline–chalky minerality and a long, focused finish.
The grapes come from clay, limestone, and pebble-strewn alluvial terraces in the Crozes-Hermitage appellation — a terroir shaped by the Rhône and Isère rivers. The southern and southeastern exposures ensure ripeness, while the cooler nights preserve freshness and a vertical, energetic profile.
The grapes are gently pressed, the must clarified at low temperature, and fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks (with some lots aged in oak, depending on the vintage). The wine is then aged on fine lees to develop roundness and balance. “Les Meysonniers” is produced from organically grown fruit, fully embracing Chapoutier’s biodynamic philosophy.
Serve at 12-14 °C with fish in a light sauce, poultry in a white sauce.
The story began with Michel Chapoutier, a unique man with a thirst for knowledge, definitely one of a kind. Michel is openminded and always willing to learn. He seeks to discover and reflect the full potential of his terroirs and let the soils express their true character. That which gives the wines their signature style. This now forms the basis of the M. Chapoutier ethos and our team strives to reveal the very best of what the soils have to offer.
