    Producer

    Mr. Chapoutier's vineyard stretches across the granite slopes typical of the Saint-Joseph appellation. The soils, composed of granite debris and schist, impart a unique minerality to the wines. The Mediterranean climate, with continental influences, promotes optimal grape ripening, resulting in concentrated aromas and a beautiful acidity. The vines, some several decades old, are cultivated with care, each plot treated individually to preserve its character.

    Owner and history

    Today, the estate is managed by Michel Chapoutier, a visionary who has successfully combined tradition and innovation. Under his guidance, the estate has undergone a remarkable transformation, adopting biodynamic practices to respect the environment and the terroir. His commitment to the quality and authenticity of his wines has allowed Mr. Chapoutier to rise to the ranks of the Rhône's most prestigious names. Michel's passion for winemaking and his respect for nature shine through in every bottle, offering wine lovers a truly unique experience.

    Vinification and aging

    Winemaking at Domaine M. Chapoutier is a meticulous process, respecting tradition while incorporating modern techniques. The grapes, carefully hand-harvested, are gently pressed to preserve their integrity. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, allowing for precise temperature control. Aging, lasting several months, is carried out in oak barrels, imparting complexity and roundness to the wine. This attention to detail and respect for the fruit are at the heart of the estate's identity.
