title: M. Chapoutier 2011 Chante-Alouette Marsanne (Hermitage)
description: This is the most impressive Chante-Alouette I can recall, boasting layers of honeyed pineapple fruit, the barest hint of fresh, just-golden toastiness and notes of gingered apricot. It's full bodied and lush on the palate, ending long and mouthwatering. It should drink well into 2015, but expect it to close up only to re-emerge between 2020 and 2030.
variety: Marsanne
designation: Chante-Alouette
