M. Chapoutier

Chapoutier, a winery where winemaking has been a family affair for over two centuries! Seven generations of passionate winemakers have shaped what is today one of the finest wine merchants and one of the most beautiful wineries in the Rhône. The Chapoutier estate is a jewel whose vineyards stretch across the heart of the finest terroirs of the AOCs: Côtes-du-Rhône, Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Joseph, Ardèche, Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Cornas...

The deeply passionate and perfectionist Michel Chapoutier leads the estate with rigor and high standards. The vineyards and his single-vineyard selections are cultivated using strictly biodynamic methods, with soil management tailored to the terroir and the complete exclusion of any non-natural inputs. Harvesting at Chapoutier is done exclusively by hand, at optimal ripeness. Winemaking follows traditional methods, focusing on the natural fermentation of the musts with indigenous yeasts to enhance the expression of each terroir’s unique flavor profile and thus produce great Rhône wines!
