It all begins in Michel Chapoutier's vineyards, which are vine-aged and currently yielding a top harvest. These are harvested mechanically in the early morning, while the grapes are still dormant, as this is the perfect time. This prevents damage to the bunches, and the grapes retain their natural freshness, which we taste in this white La Ciboise Luberon. When the grapes arrive at Chapoutier's, they are placed on sorting tables to select the best bunches. Because, as we know from Chapoutier wines, only the best is good enough. The entire wine is aged for several months on the lees, making it fuller and more powerful in both aroma and flavor.
As soon as the bottle is opened, we notice a fresh aroma of white fruit with hints of lemon peel. These aromas continue as we pour, revealing a beautiful light yellow color with green glints. Nosing the glass, we encounter abundant ripe aromas of green apple, exotic fruit, and a touch of white blossom. The palate has a lively note on the tongue, with plenty of richness from the white fruit complemented by a touch of grapefruit. The beautiful, fresh style is accompanied by a creamy mouthfeel, making it very inviting. The finish is ripe with plenty of citrus fruit.
