✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the sun-drenched, steep granite terraces of the Northern Rhône, M. Chapoutier's Cornas 'Collection Bio' is a powerful testament to the purity of 100% Syrah. The name Cornas, derived from the Celtic word for 'burnt land,' reflects the intense heat captured by these south-facing natural amphitheaters. Michel Chapoutier, a legendary pioneer in biodynamic viticulture, crafts this organic cuvée to express the raw, untamed character of the appellation. Fermented and aged with meticulous care, the wine showcases the classic Cornas signature of dark bramble fruit, cracked black pepper, smoked meats, and a profound stony minerality, all framed by robust, muscular tannins that represent the historic, rugged soul of the Rhône.
🍾 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.
