✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the precipitous, sun-drenched terraces of the northern Rhône, M. Chapoutier's 'Les Gadilles' is a profound expression of Côte-Rôtie. The name Côte-Rôtie, or 'roasted slope,' speaks to the intense solar exposure these steep schist and granite hillsides receive. According to local lore, the medieval lord Maugiron bequeathed his hillside estate to his two daughters—one blonde, one brunette—giving rise to the famous Côte Blonde and Côte Brune sub-regions. Crafted primarily from Syrah, 'Les Gadilles' is born from Chapoutier's legendary commitment to biodynamic viticulture. The wine is aged in oak barrels, resulting in a complex profile of dark bramble fruits, cracked black pepper, violets, and a distinct smoky minerality that reflects the ancient, broken soils of this historic appellation. All Chapoutier labels famously feature Braille, a tribute to the pioneering blind teacher Maurice de La Sizeranne.
🍾 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.
