Les Quatre Piliers Touraine "Chapitre 1" dry white 2022:

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Y. Castaing, Oct. 2025): 91+/100. The 2022 Chapitre I has turned out beautifully, emerging from the glass with aromas of confit citrus, spring flowers, orchard fruits, apricot and herbs. Precise and seamless, it’s medium- to full-bodied, satiny and crystalline, with racy acids and a chalky finish. One of the more saline, mineral vintages produced, it also conveys a somewhat telluric character. DRINK DATE 2025-2032.

Technical Sheet written by the estate:

Hand-harvested, pressed, and then settled in tank for one night, fermented in barrels (10% new, the rest in 350 and 500 L, from Pillot and Coche-Dury) for 8 months, no malolactic fermentation to preserve the identity of the terroirs. Very light addition of SO².

TASTING: The color, bright and tinged with gold and silver, announces a deep and indulgent nose with aromas of candied orange, pastry, followed by fresher notes of pineapple, passion fruit, and verbena upon aeration. The palate is harmonious, the enveloping and precise attack gives way to a very fresh mid-palate and a saline finish.

AGING POTENTIAL: 10 years

SERVING ADVICE: decant the wine for 45 minutes. Enjoy at 12 °C.
