Opened prior to dinner. The 2009 “Le Méal” Blanc pours a light gold color with medium+ viscosity. On the nose, the wine was initially a bit reductive but that eventually gave way to ripe peaches, passion fruit, a mix of white and yellow flowers, beeswax, almonds, minerals and there was also a wild note of Bandaid with Neosporin (you can’t make this up). On the palate, the wine is dry with medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. The alcohol is high but balanced. Drink now with patience through 2039. — 8 months ago

A nice bottle but wasn’t impressed as it had a slight oxidative quality to it that muted the fruit that was present. No experience with it so it might have been on the other side of the hill. — 4 months ago

2010 vintage. Courtesy of @Pinotman /// Andreas. Great fill. Nice cork. Opened with a Durand and decanted. Minimal sed. Tasted 45 minutes, 1.25 hours and 2 hours after open/decant. Initial gamey, smoky nose mostly dissipated and Chambord/dark plum rushed in to fill the vacuum. Medium-medium heavy body still. Surprising, this had not thinned out and was drinking mostly primary. Never been the biggest Chapoutier fan but will be keeping an eye out for this one in the May gray/grey market. Absolutely no rush to crush as this is aging at a (pre-Industrial Revolution) glacial pace. Thank you again @Pinotman /// Andreas!!! 4.17.26. — 7 months ago

Sorta boring label. I got this because I tried another Michel Chapoutier wine from OZ and like it a lot. Dark, plum skin colored. Smells like road tar, molasses and blackberry syrup. Hint herbal. Like fresh Mediterranean herbs. Flavors are cooked fruits, woodsy pine, cherry jam and licorice. This is good. Not quite as strange and complex as the other one, but a fun Shiraz to ponder. — 3 months ago

M. Chapoutier “Les Meysonniers” Crozes-Hermitage Blanc 2024, Rhône Valley, France 🇫🇷

Overview
Produced from 100% Marsanne grown on gently sloping hillsides composed of Rhône river sediments, clay, and rounded stones. The vineyards average 20–40 years of age and fermentation takes place partly in stainless steel and partly in oak, preserving the aromatic character of the terroir while adding texture.

Aromas & Flavors
Quince, ripe pear, and green apple lead the nose, followed by almond, subtle toast, and hints of white flowers. As it opens, delicate stone fruit and light honey notes appear.

Mouthfeel
Fresh and supple with a smooth texture and lively acidity. The wine shows a delicate tension with a light kiss of astringency that adds structure to the finish.

Food Pairings
Grilled sea bass, roasted chicken, creamy pasta, goat cheese, or shellfish.

Verdict
An elegant and approachable introduction to Northern Rhône Marsanne that balances freshness with subtle richness.

🍷 Personal Pick
A beautifully aromatic Crozes-Hermitage Blanc with lively structure and freshness, offering a refined profile with just a hint of astringency that keeps the wine energetic and engaging. — 8 months ago
