M. Chapoutier
The story began with Michel Chapoutier a unique man with a thirst for knowledge definitely one of a kind. Michel is openminded and always willing to learn. He seeks to discover and reflect the full potential of his terroirs and let the soils express their true character. That which gives the wines their signature style. This now forms the basis of the M. CHAPOUTIER ethos and our team strives to reveal the very best of what the soils have to offer.
Description
Colour: intense red. Nose: Black fruits, blackberry jam. Palate: unctuous, ample with warm tannins. According to the vintage, the wine can be kept from 30 to 60 years Deep in colour, austere and floral, all at the same time, with extraordinary complexity and a warm, ripe character owing to the sugar levels in the Grenache. This wine reveals aromas of red berries which evolve towards notes of herbs and garrigue scrubland, characteristic of the very finest Châteauneuf. The palate is smooth and heady with exceptionally silky tannins.
Food Pairing
Subtle and delicate at a temperature of 15/16°C. Serve at room temperature with food. The ideal match for Provencal stewed beef or slow-roasted lamb shanks. At the end of the meal, this wine would be perfect with aged cheeses such as an 18-month-old Comté or Gruyère.
