Production of Blanc - Chapelle Saint Pierre

The grapes for the Blanc - Chapelle Saint Pierre come from vineyards in southern France with French country wine status. The vines benefit from a warm, sun-drenched climate that gives the grapes an intense aromatic expression. At the same time, cooler nights bring refreshing freshness and tension to the berries. The influence of Mediterranean winds quickly dries the grapes after rainfall, thereby supporting clean, aromatic development.

The vines are rooted in soils characterised by limestone, clay and stony subsoil. Calcareous sections provide clarity and structure, while clay inclusions lend the wine a certain fullness. Stones store heat during the day and slowly release it in the evening, further promoting the grapes’ ripening process.

Harvesting for the Blanc is carried out carefully and selectively so that only fully ripe, aromatically expressive grapes reach the winery. The winemaking process focuses on gentle handling: the grapes undergo soft pressing so that only the clear, aromatic must proceeds to the next stage of maturation. Temperature-controlled fermentation preserves the delicate aromas of mirabelle plum, tropical fruit and fresh herbs.

The wine is matured predominantly in stainless-steel tanks, emphasising its pure, fresh style. Avoiding prominent oak preserves its aromatic clarity and crisp texture. Maturation on the fine lees gives the wine additional depth, a fine creaminess and greater complexity on the palate. The result is a modern, precise interpretation of a southern French white wine with Mediterranean charm.

The style of Chapelle Saint Pierre focuses on clarity, drinking pleasure and a sense of origin. The cuvée of Assyrtiko and Rolle combines Mediterranean spice with vibrant freshness. Each vintage bears the winemaker’s signature: clean fruit, precise acidity and a highly balanced overall profile without an excessive emphasis on alcohol or oak.

Serving Suggestions for Blanc - Chapelle Saint Pierre

The Blanc is a versatile accompaniment to light, aromatic cuisine. Its fruity freshness and herbal notes harmonise wonderfully with a broad selection of dishes.

• light and delicate dishes, such as salads with fresh herbs

At sociable evenings with friends, summer garden parties or alongside a light meal, it impresses with its clarity and freshness. This white wine also offers a stylish, elegant option for special occasions such as birthday celebrations or festive dinners.

The ideal serving temperature is 8 to 10 °C in a white wine glass. Within this temperature range, the fruit, herbal notes and crisp structure emerge harmoniously without losing their elegance. For the best enjoyment, a classic tulip-shaped white wine glass is recommended, as it concentrates the aromas and emphasises the freshness.

The Blanc shows its potential particularly well during the first three years after the vintage. During this time, the fruit remains radiant and the structure lively. A Burgundy bottle is best stored horizontally, in a cool, dark place and at as constant a temperature as possible. This preserves the interplay of aromas and ensures that the wine remains inviting, clear and full of character at all times.
