Les Pends is one of the latter: a sloping, south-facing hillside on white clay and chalk, described by the Rhône authority John Livingstone-Learmonth as a high, high-quality terroir. Its appeal is that it ripens fruit fully while the limestone-rich soils hold on to structure and freshness. Graillot secured a parcel in 2014 and owns just 0.4 hectares of densely planted 40-year-old vines, 75 per cent Marsanne to 25 per cent Roussanne. The grapes are pressed as whole bunches and ferment on indigenous yeasts, with maturation in 600-litre demi-muid and 300-litre cigar. Unlike the Alain Graillot white from the alluvial soils of Pont-de-l’Isère, malolactic conversion is not blocked here, as the limestone supplies enough tension on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrink over the next five to seven years. Serve at 10-12°C with roast chicken, grilled scallops or a mild washed-rind cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
