✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the pioneering biodynamic producer M. Chapoutier, Adunatio takes its name from the Latin word for union or uniting, representing the harmonious relationship between the cosmos, the soil, and the vine. This organic white Rhône blend is typically composed of Grenache Blanc, Clairette, and Roussanne grown on the clay-limestone soils of the Rhône Valley. Fermented and aged in stainless steel or concrete vats to preserve its vibrant, natural energy, Adunatio Blanc offers a pure expression of the terroir, characterized by bright stone fruit, delicate white floral aromas, and a refreshing mineral finish that honors Chapoutier's low-intervention winemaking philosophy.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1808 in Tain-l'Hermitage, Maison M. Chapoutier was transformed into a global benchmark for terroir-driven viticulture after Michel Chapoutier took charge in 1990. Operating on the motto 'Fac & Spera' (Do and Hope), the estate became an early, outspoken pioneer of biodynamic farming in 1991 across its extensive estate vineyards. Rooted along the granite terraces, fluvioglacial alluvial soils, and limestone outcrops of the northern and southern Rhône Valley, Chapoutier crafts transparent, single-vineyard bottlings (sélections parcellaires) alongside international ventures in regions like Portugal's Douro Valley. Winemaking favors indigenous yeasts, gentle extraction, and minimal intervention to preserve purity of origin, often eschewing new wood in favor of neutral oak casks or concrete vats. Benchmark cuvées—famed for their tactile Braille labeling introduced in 1994—include Hermitage icons such as Le Méal Blanc, De l'Orée, Les Greffieux, and Côte-Rôtie's La Mordorée, epitomizing tension, minerality, and structural longevity.
