Very intense crimson hue. The nose is complex and fine, with floral-like aromas (jasmine, violet) at first, followed by garrigue scrubland, liquorice and cherry notes. Clean and fruity on entry to the palate with notes of wild berries and grenadine, as well as flavours of thyme and an exotic touch of pomegranate. These are accompanied by silky tannins adding a hazelnut touch which creates a nice palate length. Shows great elegance and great finesse.

The harvested grapes are fully destemmed and then go into small stainless steel tanks, keeping the grapes from each of the previously selected vineyard plots separate. The alcoholic fermentation starts spontaneously with the indigenous yeasts and is then temperature-controlled. The vatting time is approximately 6 weeks enabling an optimal extraction of the aromatic potential, colour and tannins. Running-off and racking operations are determined by tastings and the wine is made exclusively from the free-run juice.

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.
