M.Chapoutier La Combe Pilate Viognier 2022

A Fresh Take on Viognier

Tasting Notes

M. Chapoutier La Combe Pilate Viognier 2022 is a delicate and refined wine, bursting with notes of bergamot and flint stone. On the palate, its fresh entry is dominated by classic Viognier aromas of apricot, peach, and honeysuckle. The mid-palate balances the acidic tension from its terroir with the natural full body of the varietal, enhanced by careful ageing. The finish is savoury, revealing rustic and mineral overtones that add depth to this expressive wine.

Perfect Serve

Serve chilled at 10–12°C to highlight its fresh aromatics and textural complexity. Pair with creamy seafood dishes, grilled chicken, or a vibrant Mediterranean salad. For a lighter pairing, try it with soft goat’s cheese or herbed flatbreads.

Artisan Craftsmanship

This biodynamic Viognier comes from vineyards rich in clay, quartz pebbles, limestone gravel, and loess, with areas of granitoids and leptynites lending a unique minerality. The winemaking process involves direct pressing of whole bunches, careful selection of the best juices, and light settling. Fermentation is followed by 8–9 months of ageing in stainless steel vats, with malolactic fermentation and gentle batonnage to enhance texture and complexity.
