M. Chapoutier, established in 1808 in Tain-l'Hermitage, is a titan of the Rhone Valley, celebrated for pioneering biodynamic viticulture under the visionary leadership of Michel Chapoutier. The Coffret 1 Millesime Assortment Case is a highly curated collection showcasing a single exceptional vintage across Chapoutier's most prestigious appellations, often featuring their legendary Selections Parcellaires from Hermitage, Cote-Rotie, or Chateauneuf-du-Pape. These wines are crafted to express the absolute purity of their respective terroirs, from the steep granite terraces of the north to the pebble-strewn soils of the south. A unique hallmark of Chapoutier's heritage is the inclusion of Braille on all labels since 1996, honoring Maurice de La Sizeranne, the inventor of simplified French Braille and former owner of the historic Sizeranne vineyard in Hermitage.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1808 in Tain-l'Hermitage, M. Chapoutier is one of the Rhône Valley's most historic and revered wine producers, currently led by the visionary Michel Chapoutier who transitioned the estate to biodynamic farming in the 1990s. The maison is globally celebrated for its pioneering "sélections parcellaires" (single-vineyard wines) and its commitment to expressing the pure terroir of prestigious appellations like Hermitage, Côte-Rôtie, and Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Utilizing traditional, low-intervention winemaking techniques, Chapoutier produces highly acclaimed reds and whites, including iconic labels such as the Châteauneuf-du-Pape Barbe Rac, Côte-Rôtie La Mordorée, and the Hermitage-derived La Sizeranne. Beyond the Rhône, the family has expanded its terroir-driven philosophy to exceptional estates in Roussillon, Australia's Victoria region, and Portugal's Douro Valley.
