✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the sun-drenched slopes of the Luberon AOC in the southern Rhône Valley, M. Chapoutier's 'La Ciboise' Rouge is named in honor of the historic family property where Michel Chapoutier's grandfather once lived. This cuvée captures the vibrant, easy-drinking spirit of the region, which is designated as a UNESCO biosphere reserve. Grown on limestone-rich soils at slightly higher altitudes, the grapes benefit from cooler nights that preserve essential acidity. The winemaking philosophy here focuses on purity of fruit, utilizing traditional fermentation in concrete or stainless steel vats without oak aging to maintain a bright, unoaked profile rich in red berries, wild herbs, and subtle peppery spice.
🍾 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.
