Maison M. Chapoutier is one of the most recognizable – and sizeable – producers in the Rhône Valley. It is known for its wines from both the north and south of the valley, but in particular for its red and white Hermitage wines, made from Syrah and a blend of Marsanne and Roussanne, respectively. Michel Chapoutier is one of the most highly regarded winemakers in France. Since taking over his family firm in 1990 at age 26, Michel has transformed the winery into the leading Rhône Valley producer. He combines the modern and the traditional: crusading for biodynamic winemaking, while expanding operations around the globe and experimenting with innovative winemaking techniques. Mathilde Chapoutier, the daughter of Michel Chapoutier, is the eighth generation of her family to make wine, bringing global insight, an entrepreneurial eye and the vision of a new generation to M. Chapoutier.
Deep garnet hue with purple highlights. Powerful, fruity and spicy, with a distinct touch of pepper. Full on the palate, characterized by aromas of violets and liquorice, nicely complemented by notes of roasting. The tannins are supple and velvety.
