Chapoutier les Tanneurs Saint-Péray Blanc 2020
Saint-Péray AOC
Loading...
With Michel Chapoutier's name on the label, you know to expect a great wine. And Les Tanneurs 2020 delivers. It's pure Marsanne from a top vintage, taken from several plots, all on prized granitic soil. Terrific mineral freshness with bright fruit.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
The Wine
Here's a mineral-fresh white of real class from the enthusiastic and always passionate Michel Chapoutier, one of the Rhône's most famous characters. Since he took control of this long-established firm in 1988, quality has soared. Chapoutier now produces the most diverse and complex wines to be found in the valley. Particularly well-known for their remarkable Hermitage releases, they also produce an array of great wines from across the area. Saint-Péray is a small appellation just south of Cornas, renowned for Marsanne, which brings fresh peach and honeysuckle notes. Half of the grapes are grown on chalk for freshness, half on granite for minerality, and all lees-aged with regular batonnage (stirring) for roundness. Great with creamy gratin.
Here's a mineral-fresh white of real class from the enthusiastic and always pass...
A lip smackingly fresh wine of real class, with a length that belies its modest price tag
