M. Chapoutier
Chapoutier, an estate where vines have been a family affair for over two centuries! Seven generations of passionate winegrowers have shaped what is today one of the finest trading houses and wine estates in the Rhône. Domaine Chapoutier is a jewel that extends its estates to the heart of the finest terroirs of the Côtes-du-Rhône, Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Joseph, Ardèche, Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Cornas AOC wines...

The passionate perfectionist Michel Chapoutier runs the estate with rigor and exacting standards. The vines and his parcel selections are cultivated in a totally biodynamic way, with soil maintenance adapted to the terroir and the banning of all non-natural inputs. Harvesting at Chapoutier is carried out exclusively by hand, at optimum maturity. Vinification is traditional, with the aim of naturally inoculating the musts with indigenous yeasts to enhance the expression of the taste personality of each terroir, thus producing great Rhône wines!

"Wild berries, roasted meat, smoke, black pepper and a little leather. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins. Lots of violet on the palate, giving it a very delicate, elegant character throughout. Brilliant, with lively acidity and a precise, concentrated finish. Very mineral and granite-oriented". (James Suckling 2023). A bargain to be seized!

"A simply breathtaking Hermitage!

"I was wowed by the 2019 Hermitage Monier De La Sizeranne, and if there's a best buy for 2019 Hermitage, this might be it. Blackberries, black raspberries, spice box, new leather and garni all dominate the bouquet, and it's full-bodied, with a round, structured mouthfeel, lovely tannins and a rare blend of richness and elegance. It's a stunning wine that's sure to put a smile on your face for the next two decades. Hats off to the Chapoutier team" (Jeb Dunnuck 2022)

"A full-bodied red that's both structured and very fruity!

"It's bursting with red fruit aromas, with hints of spice and dried herbs, including bay leaf. Rich and fleshy, but with healthy tannins and an excellent freshness that enlivens the very harmonious finish. This producer's greatest wine is a blend of wines from the left and right banks of the Rhône." (James Suckling 2024)

"Leading the pack of three vintage Hermitage white wines, the stunning Ermitage Cuvée de l'Orée 2013 has a stunning bouquet that includes just about everything you can think of when talking about white Hermitage. White peach, white flowers, almond paste, quince and wet rock are just some of the nuances present. On the palate, the wine is very powerful, with full-bodied richness, a flamboyant, expansive texture andfascinating concentration and purity. To be enjoyed over the next two or three decades."

"Another perfect wine is the Ermitage le Meal Blanc 2015. The most decadent, unctuous and structured of the range, with irresistible notes of white currants, toasted nuts, celery seed and licorice, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a huge mid-palate and a refreshing, pure and sensational finish that never stops. If I had to choose a white wine for a desert island, this might be it." (Wine Advocate 2016)
