✨ Tekniske specifikationer
M. Chapoutier's 'Les Granilites' Blanc is a masterful expression of the Saint-Joseph appellation, crafted entirely from Marsanne grapes grown on steep, south-facing granitic slopes. The name 'Les Granilites' directly references this stony, mineral-rich granite terroir, which provides a distinctive structural tension and flinty backbone to the wine. Historically, the wines of Saint-Joseph were celebrated as the 'vin de Mauves' and were famously praised by Victor Hugo in his masterpiece, Les Misérables. To preserve the purity of the fruit and the unique signature of the soil, the wine is fermented and aged on its fine lees in a combination of stainless steel tanks and large oak demi-muids. This meticulous process yields a beautifully textured white wine, balancing rich notes of white peach, apricot, and acacia flowers with a vibrant, saline minerality.
🍾 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.
