M.Chapoutier began in 1808, and has since expanded into an internationally recognized domaine. As Marius, Michel Chapoutier’s great-grandfather, always said ‘A good wine is one that beckons us to take another sip’. It was Marius who put the Chapoutier name firmly on the Rhône Valley map in the early 20th century and established its reputation for quality as far afield as America.

Aging continues on the fermentation lees in 600L barrels for 7 months. Blending and final maturing in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine’s mineral expression.
