The name CHAPOUTIER is present in the Rh?ne Valley since 1808. Seven generations later we find Michel, now in his forties, with a real passion for the expression of soils, at the head of this exceptional vineyard firmly anchored in history and traditions.For Michel Chapoutier, the most important thing is theexpression of terroir.
His winery’s recent performance is stunning: 38 of 46 Chapoutier wines reviewed in this year's Rh?ne report, earned ratings of 90 or more points on Wine Spectator's 100-point scale; 15 earned classic ratings of 95 points or better.According to a survey by Drinks International, M.Chapoutier is the World’s Most Admired French Wine Brand.
Michel Chapoutier, determined man and visionary, opting for breakaway solutions, has succeeded in combining the past with daring and creativity. When he decided to convert all his vineyards to biodynamics, few people encouraged him and many criticised him, yet he did not change his mind.
Today this choice seems obvious, as is more than proved by the quality of M. CHAPOUTIER’s wines.
The Maison M. CHAPOUTIER, based at Tain, boasts today one of the finest estates in the Rh?ne Valleybetween the Alps and the Massif Central. M. CHAPOUTIER vineyards have gradually spread and diversified at the heart of the best terroirs for labels of origin: Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Joseph, Ard?che, C?te R?tie, Condrieu, Ch?teauneuf-du-Pape, Cornas, to name but a few.
Michel Chapoutier: “lt's easy to prove you can make a great bottle of wine for $150 from Hermitage. But to make a great bottle of wine for $20 from someplace else? That's entirely different. When you have an entirely different margin for cost and price yet you still put that same effort in to make something great! That's special, and not everyone is willing to do that.”
