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.
🍾 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.
