✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Michel Chapoutier's venture into Portugal's rugged Douro Valley, named 'Dos Lus adas' in honor of Lu s de Cames' epic national poem, brings a Rhne master's precision to ancient Iberian terroirs. The Eleivera Branco is crafted from classic native Douro white grape varieties, predominantly Rabigato, Gouveio, and Viosinho, grown on the region's dramatic, steep schist terraces. To preserve the vibrant acidity and delicate aromatics threatened by the intense Douro sun, the grapes are sourced from high-altitude vineyards. Fermented and aged primarily in stainless steel to maintain its pristine fruit character, this wine offers a beautiful tension between ripe citrus, white peach, and a crystalline, flinty minerality that reflects the fractured slate soils of its origin.
🍾 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.
