✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1808 in Tain-l'Hermitage in the Rhône Valley, M. Chapoutier has grown into one of France's most celebrated wine houses, propelled to international acclaim following Michel Chapoutier's visionary leadership in 1990. A pioneer in biodynamic viticulture and minimal-intervention winemaking, the estate is revered for its single-vineyard 'sélections parcellaires' that articulate the purest nuances of individual terroirs across the Rhône and beyond. Iconic for incorporating Braille script on every label since 1996, Chapoutier produces benchmark expressions of Syrah, Marsanne, and Grenache across prestigious appellations including Hermitage, Côte-Rôtie, and Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
