All of Chapoutier's 1996 white wines were made from small yields, and all possess more acidity than normal, but they are generally dominated by their respective terroirs. The branded wines, such as the 1996 Cotes du Rhone Belleruche, 1996 Crozes-Hermitage Les Meysonnieres, and 1996 St.-Joseph Deschants, are all attractive white wines. The Crozes-Hermitage Les Meysonnieres is fresh and tangy, but the acidity is high.
