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
This wine shows an intense crimson‑red colour. On the nose there is a complex and subtle mix of blackcurrant, plum, and morello cherry, followed by roasted coffee, cinnamon, and hints of garrigue and spice. On the palate it is rich and opulent: ripe dark and blue fruits, cherry, plum, with licorice, pepper, and subtle earthy tones. Tannins are firm and somewhat drying, balanced by good acidity. The wine has dormant energy, with structure that suggests it will open further with cellaring. Finish is long, complex, with spice, dark fruit, and a savory, slightly smoky edge.
