✨ Tekniske specifikationer
M. Chapoutier's 'Les Greffieux' is a masterful single-vineyard (sélection parcellaire) Hermitage that showcases the profound synergy between the Syrah grape and the historic Hermitage hill. Located at the base of this legendary granite dome, the Les Greffieux parcel features a unique terroir of alluvial deposits, clay, and round stones (galets) washed down over millennia. This specific soil composition yields a Syrah that is remarkably fleshy, velvety, and aromatic compared to its steeper, more austere granite neighbors. Cultivated under strict biodynamic principles, the grapes are hand-harvested at peak maturity, fully destemmed, and fermented in concrete tanks before spending 14 to 18 months maturing in oak casks. The history of Hermitage is steeped in tales of crusaders and royal courts, and this cuvée honors that legacy by delivering a wine of immense depth, characterized by dark berry fruit, licorice, and tapenade, wrapped in exceptionally polished 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.
