Haut Chamblard represents the modern, environmentally conscious spirit of the historic M. Chapoutier house, a pioneer in biodynamic viticulture in the Rhône Valley. Crafted under the rigorous standards of organic farming, this white wine showcases the classic harmony of Rhône varieties, typically featuring Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, and Viognier. The grapes are sourced from vineyards where clay-limestone soils impart both rich texture and a vibrant, mineral-driven freshness. True to the Chapoutier legacy—which famously includes printing all labels in Braille since 1996 as a tribute to the blind pioneer Maurice de La Sizeranne—this wine is made with minimal intervention. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats to preserve the pure, expressive fruit aromas of white peach, citrus, and delicate floral notes, it offers a genuine, accessible taste of the Rhône's diverse terroir.
🍾 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.
