✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the visionary Michel Chapoutier, a pioneer of biodynamic viticulture in the Rhône Valley, 'Adunatio' takes its name from the Latin word for 'union'—symbolizing the harmonious relationship between nature, the winemaker, and the soil. This red wine is produced as a 'sans sulfites ajoutés' (no added sulfur) cuvée, representing a pure, unadulterated expression of the southern Rhône terroir. Typically a classic blend of Grenache and Syrah, the grapes are fermented with indigenous yeasts in concrete or stainless steel tanks to safeguard the vibrant primary fruit. The nose and palate are defined by juicy dark berries, wild garrigue herbs, and a signature touch of cracked black pepper, delivering a rustic yet remarkably clean and lively profile.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1808 in Tain-l'Hermitage in the Rhône Valley, M. Chapoutier has grown into one of France's most celebrated wine houses, propelled to international acclaim following Michel Chapoutier's visionary leadership in 1990. A pioneer in biodynamic viticulture and minimal-intervention winemaking, the estate is revered for its single-vineyard 'sélections parcellaires' that articulate the purest nuances of individual terroirs across the Rhône and beyond. Iconic for incorporating Braille script on every label since 1996, Chapoutier produces benchmark expressions of Syrah, Marsanne, and Grenache across prestigious appellations including Hermitage, Côte-Rôtie, and Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
