Chapoutier Occultum Lapidem Blanc 2019 Bottle size: 750ml
France, Northern Rhône
R330
‘A floral nose with lots of fresh herbs, white flowers, honeysuckle and a hint of tropical fruits. Medium body with a positive bitterness towards the end. Waxy with lovely polish and a crisp finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.’ – James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, 93/100
‘The 2019 Côtes Du Roussillon Occultum Lapidem Blanc is also brilliant. Lots of citrus, lemon curd, salty mineral, toasted nut, and floral notes emerge from the glass, and it's rich and medium to full-bodied, with beautiful balance and a great finish. Geared for the dinner table, this is one classy white. It should keep for 4-5 years, although there's no need to delay gratification.’ – Jeb Dunnuck, 93/100
‘Lovely golden hue. Stone fruit aromas (apricot, peach), a delicately roasted floral touch, minerality and complexity. Lovely and fresh on entry, full of minerality and complexity. Well-balanced wine thanks to the freshness and the fat of the white Grenache. Notes of white flesh fruits with hints of vanilla.’ – Winemaker
