M. Chapoutier Bila Haut Banyulus Rimage 50cl 17% ABV

PRODUCER - Humility is at the heart of the M. CHAPOUTIER soul. Nature always has the final say. The winemaker observes, decides and guides nature in the most respectful way possible. ‘Fac et spera’ (do and hope), has become the family currency. BOTTLING - Chapoutier Banyuls Bila-Haut is bottled as a “Rimage”. Rimage is a term given to a more modern, younger style of Banyuls. Instead more traditional “Vintage” styles which are aged for many years (and sometimes in glass bottles exposed to the sun), they are bottled much younger. TASTING NOTES - M. Chapoutier Bila Haut Banyuls Rimage 2020 has an intense garnet red hue. The nose has complex aromas of fruit (overripe Morello cherries) and flowers (violets), some touches of spice (cinnamon) with an unusual hint of iodine. The palate shows great freshness with a nice balance between sugar, alcohol and acidity. Soft tannic structure characteristic of this schist terroir. Mineral and saline notes on the finish. FOOD PAIRINGS - Serve with strong, mature cheeses, pastries and chocolate desserts. IDEAL GIFT - This wine makes the ideal gift for a work colleague, friend or simply yourself!
