✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the stony terraces of the Crozes-Hermitage appellation in the northern Rhône Valley, M. Chapoutier's 'Les Meysonniers' Rouge is a pure, vibrant expression of Northern Rhône Syrah. The name 'Les Meysonniers' pays homage to the traditional harvest workers of the region, celebrating the deep human connection to the land. The vines, averaging over 25 years of age, are planted on south-facing slopes composed of fluvioglacial alluvial soils and rolled pebbles, which absorb the daytime sun and radiate heat back to the grapes at night. In keeping with Chapoutier's pioneering biodynamic philosophy, the grapes are harvested by hand and vinified traditionally in closed concrete vats. The wine is aged for approximately 12 months in concrete tanks rather than oak barrels, a deliberate choice designed to preserve the pristine, peppery black fruit, floral violet notes, and precise mineral backbone characteristic of the terroir.
🍾 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.
