Domaine Chant des Loups - AOP Vacqueras - L'éclipse white 2024

Magnificent Vacqueras blanc du domaine du Chant des loups. This organic wine from the southern Rhône valley has an expressive nose with notes of vanilla, brioche and butter, all with finesse. Acacia flowers, fennel and a hint of broom add a refreshing vegetal touch. On the palate, the attack is full and greedy, revealing buttery notes and a lovely sweetness. This wine reveals a constant quest for tension and balance, offering lovely length and a delicately toasted finish.

There are estates that live up to their name. The Domaine du Chant des Loups, nestled in the jagged foothills of the Dentelles de Montmirail, in the Vacqueyras appellation, is one of these. Here, the wind blows between cypress and olive trees, the garrigue scents with thyme and lavender, and the vines seem to listen to the voices of wind and stone. This estate, both discreet and charismatic, cultivates a rare authenticity in the southern Rhône Valley winegrowing landscape.
