M. Chapoutier has long been a trailblazer in the Rhône Valley, with Michel Chapoutier championing biodynamic and organic viticulture since the late 1980s. This deep commitment to the health of the soil is beautifully expressed in 'La Collection Bio Rouge,' an organic red wine that captures the vibrant, sun-drenched spirit of the Southern Rhône. Typically crafted from a classic blend of Grenache and Syrah grown on stony clay-limestone soils, this wine is fermented and aged primarily in concrete or stainless steel vats to preserve its pure, unadorned fruit character. The Chapoutier family, whose winemaking heritage in Tain-l'Hermitage dates back to 1808, believes in minimal intervention, allowing the natural terroir of the Rhône—marked by notes of ripe red berries, wild garrigue herbs, and a touch of black pepper—to shine through honestly in every glass.
🍾 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.
