M. Chapoutier

Chapoutier, an estate where winegrowing has been a family affair for over two centuries! Seven generations of passionate winegrowers have shaped what is now one of the finest wine merchants and one of the most beautiful wine estates in the Rhône region. The Chapoutier estate is a jewel that extends its domains to the heart of the best terroirs of the Côtes-du-Rhône, Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Joseph, Ardèche, Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Cornas, and other AOC wines.

The highly passionate and perfectionist Michel Chapoutier runs the estate with rigor and high standards. The vines and their parcel selections are cultivated using entirely biodynamic methods, with soil maintenance adapted to the terroir and the banishment of any unnatural inputs. Harvesting at Chapoutier is done exclusively by hand, at optimal maturity. Traditional vinification methods are used, seeking to naturally inoculate the must with indigenous yeasts to promote the expression of each terroir's unique flavor profile and thus produce great Rhône wines!
