The Chapoutier winery founded in 1808 by the Calvet family was sold to the Chapoutier family in 1855. It has since become one of the biggest companies in the Rhône Valley both as a producer and a négociant, with activity across all of the major appellations. Cuvée de l’Orée is 100% old-vine Marsanne from a single organically and biodynamically cultivated plot of Hermitage called Les Murets. All fruit is hand-harvested, 50% vinified in 600-litre wooden barrels and matured on lees for 6 months, with additional ageing before bottling. \"It is no secret that I adore Chapoutier`s luxury cuvee of white Hermitage called Cuvee L`Oree. Made from 90-year old vines and microscopic yields of 10-12 hectoliters per hectare, this wine flirts with perfection. It is a compelling white Hermitage. Made from 100% Marsanne, it is as rich and multidimensional as the fullest, most massive Montrachet money can buy. It is unctuously textured, yet extraordinarily and beautifully balanced. I suspect it will drink well early in life, and then shut down for a few years. It should last for 4-5 decades. It is a huge, chewy, multidimensional wine with spectacular concentration and richness. Notes of white flowers, honey, minerals, and peaches are present in astronomical quantities. In short, this wine must be tasted to be believed.\" Robert Parker, 1999","brand":"M.
