Opulence is the calling card of the 2009 M. Chapoutier Ermitage Le Meal Blanc, a massively concentrated Marsanne that layers ripe stone and tropical fruit with creamy oak, roasted nut and a savory, saline edge. Despite its glycerol weight and almost hedonistic richness, the wine is kept in check by a vibrant spine of acidity that gives definition and lift, making this hot-vintage expression both extravagant and remarkably focused on the palate.

Ermitage Le Méal Blanc from M. Chapoutier is a single‑site Hermitage white made from old‑vine Marsanne on the pebbly, south‑facing Le Méal slope; it’s typically demi‑muids‑aged and shows a rich, honeyed, textural profile of stone and exotic fruits, toasted nuts and brioche framed by a saline, mineral spine and impressive aging potential.
