✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted to celebrate the bicentennial of the legendary Maison M. Chapoutier, founded in 1808, the Jubile 200 Ans is a rare, commemorative red cuvee that pays homage to two centuries of pioneering Rhone winemaking. Reflecting the Chapoutier family's deep-rooted connection to the region's diverse terroirs, this wine is typically crafted from select parcels of Syrah grown on the steep, granite-rich slopes of the Northern Rhone. True to Michel Chapoutier's groundbreaking philosophy, the vineyards are farmed biodynamically to capture the purest expression of the soil. The winemaking process involves meticulous hand-harvesting, traditional fermentation, and extended aging in French oak barrels. The result is a profound, structured red wine that weaves together the history of a dynasty, the innovation of biodynamics, and the timeless power of the Rhone.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1808 in Tain-l'Hermitage, Maison M. Chapoutier was transformed into a global benchmark for terroir-driven viticulture after Michel Chapoutier took charge in 1990. Operating on the motto 'Fac & Spera' (Do and Hope), the estate became an early, outspoken pioneer of biodynamic farming in 1991 across its extensive estate vineyards. Rooted along the granite terraces, fluvioglacial alluvial soils, and limestone outcrops of the northern and southern Rhône Valley, Chapoutier crafts transparent, single-vineyard bottlings (sélections parcellaires) alongside international ventures in regions like Portugal's Douro Valley. Winemaking favors indigenous yeasts, gentle extraction, and minimal intervention to preserve purity of origin, often eschewing new wood in favor of neutral oak casks or concrete vats. Benchmark cuvées—famed for their tactile Braille labeling introduced in 1994—include Hermitage icons such as Le Méal Blanc, De l'Orée, Les Greffieux, and Côte-Rôtie's La Mordorée, epitomizing tension, minerality, and structural longevity.
