✨ wine.spec_sheet
This exclusive assortment case showcases M. Chapoutier's legendary 'Le Pavillon' Ermitage, a benchmark of the Northern Rhône. Sourced from ancient Syrah vines planted on the steep, granite-rich slopes of the Les Bessards lieu-dit on the hill of Hermitage, this wine is a masterclass in biodynamic viticulture—a philosophy championed by Michel Chapoutier since the early 1990s. The hill itself is steeped in history, named after the 13th-century crusader knight Gaspard de Stérimberg who built a hermitage here to live in solitary contemplation. Aged in oak casks, Le Pavillon is celebrated for its profound depth, intense minerality, and complexity. Notably, the packaging honors the blind community with tactile Braille labels, a signature Chapoutier tradition initiated in 1996 to celebrate the heritage of the local Sizeranne family.
🍾 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.
