✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Michel Chapoutier is legendary in the Rhone Valley for his pioneering biodynamic farming and his ability to coax pure varietal expression from the region's diverse soils. 'La Grenade' is a vibrant, fruit-forward red wine that pays homage to the Grenache grape, playing on the French word for pomegranate and its explosive fruit character. Sourced from carefully selected vineyards in the Rhone, this wine is crafted to emphasize freshness and immediate pleasure. Fermented in stainless steel or concrete vats to preserve the primary fruit aromas, it avoids heavy oak contact, resulting in a lively, juicy profile filled with red berries, wild herbs (garrigue), and a touch of white pepper. It represents Chapoutier's democratic approach to winemaking, creating highly accessible, terroir-driven wines that capture the sunny disposition of the southern French climate.
🍾 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.
