M. ChapoutierCollines Rhodaniennes Combe Pilate blanc 2024

About this wine

This is a wine that reminds you why Viognier matters. M. Chapoutier's Combe Pilate blanc is the kind of bottle that makes you slow down and actually taste what's in your glass, without any pretense or complexity that gets in the way.

The nose opens with white flowers and stone fruit, something between apricot and peach. On the palate, you get that signature Viognier richness, but here it stays elegant and balanced. The lower alcohol at 11% keeps things fresh and drinkable, letting the wine breathe without heaviness.

Pair this with lighter dishes that let the wine shine: think fresh fish, seafood pasta, or even a simple chicken dish with herbs. It works beautifully with local Swiss cuisine like fondue or raclette if you want something a bit richer. Serve it chilled, around 8 to 10 degrees, and you'll get the best from what Chapoutier has crafted here. This is everyday drinking at its finest.
