Saint-Peray Haut Chamblard is a sophisticated expression of 100% Marsanne from the AOP Saint-Peray, masterfully crafted to highlight the distinctive terroir of the Northern Rhone Valley. Sourced from chalky soils that impart an invigorating freshness and granitic arenas lending minerality and depth, this wine encapsulates both elegance and character. The winemaking process combines whole-bunch pressing, low-temperature fermentation in vats, and partial vinification in barrels, followed by lees ageing with regular stirring. The final blend, assembled in the spring before bottling, results in a harmonious, vibrant wine ideal for refined palates. Ideal as an aperitif or paired with fish in creamy sauce, tender veal, or hard cheeses, Saint-Peray Haut Chamblard is an excellent companion for gastronomic adventures, capturing the nuanced personality of the Marsanne grape.
