✨ Tekniske specifikationer
M. Chapoutier's "Coufis" is a rare and luscious sweet white wine that pays homage to the ancient local tradition of passerillage—the natural air-drying of grapes to concentrate their sugars and flavors. The name "Coufis" derives from the local dialect meaning "confit" or "shriveled," describing the state of the grapes at harvest. Crafted in the Ardèche region, this wine is made from late-harvest Viognier grapes that are left on the vine to achieve a rich concentration of honeyed apricot, peach, and exotic spice notes. Chapoutier's commitment to biodynamic principles and minimal intervention allows the pure, sun-drenched character of the Ardèche terroir to shine through, balanced by a vibrant acidity that prevents the intense sweetness from becoming cloying.
🍾 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.
