Saint Péray AOP – Domaine Chaboud Cellier – Originelles – white

Saint-Péray AOP – Domaine Chaboud Cellier – Origin&lles is an exceptional cuvée produced on the unique terroirs of the Saint-Péray appellation, in the heart of the Rhône Valley. Made from Marsanne, the region’s emblematic grape variety, this cuvée showcases the pure expression of this mineral, sun-drenched terroir, ideal for growing wines of great finesse and complexity.

The vineyard is planted on granite soils and clay-limestone soils, ideal for Marsanne, which finds here an environment conducive to slow, balanced ripening. The vines are tended with respect for tradition and the environment, using sustainable farming methods to preserve local biodiversity and ensure healthy, high-quality grapes. Yields are kept in check, and the harvest is carried out by hand, allowing a rigorous selection of the bunches.

This cuvée is vinified with care: after a gentle pressing, the juice is run into stainless steel tanks for a temperature-controlled fermentation, so as to preserve the purity of the fruit aromas and the wine’s natural liveliness. No malolactic fermentation, to retain a lovely acidity and a fresh balance. The wine is then aged on fine lees for several months, which gives it texture and roundness while preserving its freshness.

Visually, Origin&lles shows a brilliant pale yellow colour, almost crystalline, inviting you to taste. The nose is fresh and expressive, revealing aromas of white flowers and white-fleshed fruit (peach, pear), with subtle hints of minerality recalling the typicity of its granite terroir. On the palate, the attack is clean and lively, with lovely freshness and a mineral backbone that blends harmoniously with a slightly unctuous texture. The finish is long, clean and precise, with a hint of sweet almond and a pleasant saline sensation that prolongs the pleasure.

This wine is ideal with delicate fish, seafood, cold starters such as fish tartares or even fresh fruit salads. It can also be enjoyed as an aperitif or with soft cheeses.
