Neve
⏳ Drikkevindue
Typically best enjoyed 8 to 25 years from the vintage, as its tight youthful structure and firm tannins beautifully soften into complex tertiary notes of leather, game, and forest floor.
🍽️ Mad & Vin-match
Slow-roasted leg of lamb with rosemary, classic French duck breast with a cherry reduction, or wild mushroom risotto.
✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the steep, dizzying terraces of the northern Côte-Rôtie, M. Chapoutier's 'Nève' is a masterclass in single-parcel expression. Grown on the mica-schist soils of the Côte Brune side, this Syrah benefits from a unique microclimate where the grapes slowly ripen to develop profound aromatic complexity. Michel Chapoutier, a pioneer of biodynamic viticulture in the Rhône Valley, crafts this wine with minimal intervention to let the terroir speak directly. Historically, Chapoutier is renowned for introducing Braille on his labels in 1996, a nod to inclusivity and the legacy of Maurice de La Sizeranne. The Nève parcel yields a wine of incredible structure, marked by dark bramble fruits, cracked black pepper, violets, and a distinct graphite minerality that reflects its rugged, sun-drenched birthplace.
🍾 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.
