✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the steep, sun-drenched granite terraces of Saint-Joseph in the Northern Rhône, M. Chapoutier's 'Les Granits' Blanc is a masterclass in the expression of 100% Marsanne. Michel Chapoutier, a pioneer of biodynamic viticulture, crafts this cuvée from some of the oldest vines in the appellation, rooted in stony, fractured granite soils that impart a distinctive minerality and structural tension. Historically, the steep slopes of Tournon were highly prized by French royalty, and Chapoutier honors this heritage with meticulous hand-harvesting. The wine is fermented and aged in demi-muids with regular lees stirring, seamlessly blending luxurious texture, notes of white peach, acacia, and toasted almonds with a vibrant, granite-driven acidity. Notably, the label features Braille, a signature Chapoutier tribute to the blind singer Gilbert Montagné.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Founded in 1808 in Tain-l'Hermitage in the Rhône Valley, M. Chapoutier has grown into one of France's most celebrated wine houses, propelled to international acclaim following Michel Chapoutier's visionary leadership in 1990. A pioneer in biodynamic viticulture and minimal-intervention winemaking, the estate is revered for its single-vineyard 'sélections parcellaires' that articulate the purest nuances of individual terroirs across the Rhône and beyond. Iconic for incorporating Braille script on every label since 1996, Chapoutier produces benchmark expressions of Syrah, Marsanne, and Grenache across prestigious appellations including Hermitage, Côte-Rôtie, and Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
