✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Crafted by the historic house of M. Chapoutier, this sparkling white wine is a vibrant homage to the oldest sparkling winemaking technique in the world—the 'méthode ancestrale.' Long before the traditional Champagne method was popularized, winemakers in France bottled fermenting juice, allowing the natural sugars to complete their transformation inside the bottle to trap a delicate, natural effervescence. Chapoutier utilizes this ancient, low-intervention technique to capture the pure, unadorned essence of the grapes, typically sourcing from cool-climate parcels in the Rhône valley. Without the addition of a dosage, the wine reveals an authentic, fruit-forward profile marked by crisp acidity, delicate floral aromas, and a soft, creamy mousse that whispers of the region's ancient soils and biodynamic heritage.
🍾 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.
