Colour is very deep garnet red. Nose of black fruit jam, smoked and mineral overtones. Palate on smoky and peppered aromas. Tight tannins with a long persistency in mouth.

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.
Vineyard & Vinification
Selection of our oldest Syrah trunks in the birthplace of the Saint Joseph appellation. Very poor and very stony granitic soils.
The grapes are 100% destemmed. Slow fermentation in small concrete vats. The process of fermentation is very long and lasts for more than one month, to polymerize tannins. Only the free-run wine is used in this single vineyard. Entirely aged in casks (new casks and casks having matured wine once or twice before) from 16 to 18 months.
