✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the steep, granite-rich slopes of the historic Saint-Joseph appellation, M. Chapoutier's 'Les Granits' Blanc is a masterclass in the expression of pure Marsanne. The name pays direct homage to the stony, granitic soils of the estate's oldest vineyards in Tournon, which force the ancient vines to dig deep for nutrients. This biodynamically farmed 'sélection parcellaire' is crafted from low-yielding, old vines, capturing an intense minerality and structural complexity. Fermented and aged in oak demi-muids with regular lees stirring, the wine beautifully balances a rich, oily texture with a vibrant, stony precision. It stands as a testament to Michel Chapoutier's belief that the soil's geological signature should reign supreme over the grape variety itself.
🍾 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.
