✨ Tekniske specifikationer
La Croix des Grives is an organic Côtes du Rhône red wine crafted by the legendary house of M. Chapoutier. Reflecting the estate's deep commitment to biodiversity and ecological balance, the wine's name pays homage to the thrushes ('grives') that frequent the vibrant, sustainably managed vineyards. Sourced from select organically farmed parcels in the southern Rhône Valley, the vines thrive on classic clay-limestone soils under the warm Mediterranean sun. In the cellar, Chapoutier employs traditional, low-intervention winemaking techniques, utilizing concrete vats for fermentation and aging to preserve the bright, primary fruit characteristics of the grapes. The result is a classic, terroir-driven expression of the region, balancing rich red berry fruit with subtle garrigue spice and soft, approachable tannins.
🍾 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.
