The 2010 Saint Péray white, Lieu Dit Payrolles by Pic-Chapoutier is the most unique, small production from a single vineyard wine that we have ever brought in and made available to our guests at ABC Fine Wine & Spirits.

 In fact, only 100 bottles of this divine beverage were allocated for retail purchase.

Until last year, this wine was only available to the patrons of Pic-à-Valence, the world famous three-star Michelin restaurant in the Rhône Valley in Southern France.

 

 

 

The 2010 Lieu Dit Payrolles is made of 100% old vines Marsanne from a single, high-altitude vineyard, composed of granitic soil and surrounded by woods in the Saint Péray appellation of the Northern Rhône Valley.

The wine exhibits saturated golden yellow color with green hues and aromas and flavors of ripe citrus, star fruit, acacia flower and spicy notes of star-anis and cloves; full-bodied and generous,  ample and defined with floral and honeyed notes on the long-lasting finish.

This was one of the most intense, pure and exciting white wines ever tasted by our panel.

A bottle of the 2010 Saint Péray white, Lieu Dit Payrolles is now accessible to all true wine enthusiasts for only $80.
