✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the steep, terraced slopes of the Saint-Joseph appellation in the northern Rhône, M. Chapoutier's 'Les Granilites' Rouge is a masterful expression of Syrah rooted in ancient granite. The name itself pays homage to the stony, granitic soils that define this terroir, forcing the vines to dig deep for nutrients and imparting a distinct mineral tension to the wine. Cultivated using strict biodynamic principles, the grapes are hand-harvested from south-facing vineyards that benefit from optimal sun exposure. In the cellar, Chapoutier employs traditional vinification with gentle extraction, followed by aging in French oak barrels for approximately 12 months. This process tames the wild, peppery nature of the Syrah, resulting in a refined, elegant red that beautifully balances dark fruit flavors with stony minerality and fine-grained 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.
