✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the steep slopes of the Northern Rhône, 'Les Micas' is a beautifully crafted expression of Syrah that pays homage to the region's distinctive mica-schist and granitic soils. Produced under the IGP Collines Rhodaniennes designation, this wine allows the legendary maison of M. Chapoutier to showcase a more approachable, fruit-forward side of Northern Rhône Syrah while maintaining a strict focus on terroir. The name itself refers to the shimmering mica minerals found in the local granite, which reflect heat and contribute to the wine's signature freshness and mineral tension. Fermented and aged primarily in stainless steel and concrete vats to preserve its vibrant primary fruit, this cuvée captures the classic aromatic profile of the region—bursting with dark berries, cracked black pepper, and delicate violet notes.
🍾 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.
