Tasting Notes: The Grain d'Or 2011 unveils a complex bouquet of dried and candied fruits, ripe pear, and delicate sweet spices, interwoven with subtle buttery notes. On the palate, it offers a powerful yet elegant structure, with a rich, unctuous texture and a long, slightly bitter finish that adds finesse. This wine’s low acidity and glycerol-driven profile make it a luxurious choice for sipping or pairing.

Winemaking: Grown on granite terroirs at 400-600 meters altitude, the grapes are cultivated biodynamically, certified by Demeter since 2003. Vinified naturally with indigenous yeasts and minimal sulfites, this wine reflects Chappaz’s philosophy of respecting the vine’s connection to the cosmos and the rhythms of nature. The 2011 vintage, aged for 18 months, showcases a refined balance of elegance and intensity, with potential for further development in the cellar.

Food Pairings: Perfectly complements poultry dishes, creamy cheeses, or rich seafood like scallops. Its sumptuous texture also makes it an ideal meditation wine to savor on its own.
