✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from one of the most historic parcels in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, M. Chapoutier's 'Barbe Rac' is a masterclass in single-vineyard expression. The name itself traces back to local history, but the true legend lies in the vineyard's ancient Grenache vines, planted in 1901. Situated on a dry, wind-swept plateau of rolled pebbles (galets roulés) and red clay, these centenarian vines yield minuscule quantities of intensely concentrated fruit. To preserve the absolute purity of this exceptional terroir, Chapoutier employs a traditional, low-intervention approach: the wine is fermented and aged exclusively in concrete vats, entirely avoiding oak. This allows the natural power, rich black fruit, and distinctive garrigue-scented minerality of the old-vine Grenache to shine through with unmatched clarity and elegance.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
M. Chapoutier blev grundlagt i 1808 i Tain-l'Hermitage i Rhônedalen og har siden udviklet sig til et af Frankrigs mest berømte vinhuse. Husets internationale stjernestatus tog for alvor fart, da Michel Chapoutier overtog roret i 1990 med sin kompromisløse vision. Som pioner inden for biodynamisk vindyrkning og minimal intervention i vinkælderen er ejendommen særligt hyldet for sine enkeltmarks-aftapninger, 'sélections parcellaires', der formidler de fineste terroiregenskaber på tværs af Rhône og andre vinregioner. Chapoutier, der siden 1996 ikonisk har haft punktskrift (blindeskrift) på alle etiketter, skaber referencepunkter for druer som Syrah, Marsanne og Grenache i prestigiøse appellationer som Hermitage, Côte-Rôtie og Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
