Chapoutier Bila Haute Blanc

Domaine de Bila-Haut is M. Chapoutier’s Roussillon estate, based near Latour-de-France in the upper Agly Valley. Michel Chapoutier was drawn to the region’s rugged landscape and diverse geology, where schist, gneiss, limestone, clay, and high-elevation granite sites offer exceptional opportunities to express individual terroirs.The 2023 and 2024 releases are made from a traditional blend of Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Marsanne, and Macabeu.

Tasting Notes
Colour: Pale yellow with bright green reflections.

Nose: Expressive aromas of lemon, grapefruit, white flowers, and fresh orchard fruit, accompanied by a subtle smoky note.

Palate: Fresh and aromatic on entry, developing a rounded texture with citrus, pear, and delicate stone-fruit flavours. Vibrant acidity from the cooler, high-altitude vineyards provides balance and energy.

Finish: Clean and refreshing, with lingering citrus, gentle smoky minerality, and a distinctive saline edge.
