Céline Champalou’s Vouvray is always a joy to drink. The wine seems so pure, as if it bubbled up out of the limestone into a cool, limpid pool tended by nymphs and satyrs who pour it into the mouths of weary souls. That’s what I feel, anyway, when I grab a bottle from the fridge.
Shows singed herbs, spices and mesquite smoke, which surround red currant and crunchy plum flavors. Medium-weight and savory, with mouthwatering acidity and warm earth accents through the finish. Drink now through 2028. 450 cases imported.
The Wine Blended from the traditional Bordeaux varietals, including our own coveted grapes, the Chappellet Mountain Cuvée Proprietor’s Blend builds on our more than five decades of experience crafting great mountain-grown wines. Each grape variety in the cuvée contributes nuances that complement each other. The result is a complex array of aromas and flavors that deliver pure pleasure in a glass. Made for more near-term enjoyment, this is the wine to choose when you’re looking for vivid, mouthfilling fruit flavors.
Growing Season & Harvest With early season rains saturating soils and a cool spring and summer that ensured generous hangtime, 2023 offered perfect weather that took the grapes to another level. To provide airflow and light on the grapes during a cool vintage, we pruned and leafed early and often. Though later than normal, both budbreak and bloom were excellent with overall yields up slightly. The weather stayed cool into fall, with only one September day above 90° F, before things warmed up in October, providing a final push to ripeness. Though harvest was compact, we were able to pick everything at the ideal moment, yielding impeccably balanced red wines with concentrated color, seamless tannins and an abundance of fruit and spice.
Tasting Notes This beautifully aromatic wine leaps from the glass with effusive aromas of dark cherry, blackberry and plum, as well as French oak-inspired hints of clove, cardamom and cedar and notions of black pepper and fresh herbs. On the richly textured palate, lush ripe berry layers echo the aromas, with fine-grained tannins framing the luxurious flavors as they glide to a lingering dark chocolate and anise finish
A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah, the 2022 Vacqueyras Tradition is slightly deeper and richer than the Cuvée Spéciale, with ripe blackberry and darker cherry fruits as well as spicy, leather, and Provençal garrigue driven aromas and flavors. It too i...
