From the Winemaker:
Petite Ruche translates to "little beehive," which is a very appropriate name, as the vineyards were formerly dedicated to beekeeping. Pale yellow in color with green lights, limpid and brilliant. The nose displays aromas of green apple, floral, exotic fruits and citrus. On the palate, the wine is supple with a lot of freshness with notes of floral and candied fruits.
92 Points Wine Spectator
"A ripe, unctuous version, with an expressive mix of apple, nectarine, dried chamomile and warm hay flavors. Reveals a racy mineral edge and a kick of quinine on the finish, which brings good balance and a kiss of salted butter. Drink now through 2026. 175 cases imported."
90 Points Wilfred Wong
"The 2022 M. Chapoutier Crozes-Hermitage Petite Ruche Blanc is bright with ample ripe fruits and excellent acidity. TASTING NOTES: This wine shows aromas and flavors of savory and aromatic spices. Enjoy this with fried oysters wrapped in bacon."
