✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The M. Chapoutier NV Assortment Case represents a curated journey through some of the finest terroirs of the Rhône Valley, assembled by one of France's most historic and revolutionary wine families. Established in Tain-l'Hermitage in 1808, the house of Chapoutier rose to global renown under the visionary leadership of Michel Chapoutier, who pioneered biodynamic viticulture in the region during the 1990s. Guided by the family motto 'Fac et Spera' (Do and Hope), Chapoutier's philosophy is to let the soil speak without interference. This assortment typically showcases his celebrated 'Sélections Parcellaires'—single-vineyard expressions from legendary appellations like Hermitage, Côte-Rôtie, and Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Notably, every bottle features braille on the label, a tribute initiated in 1996 to honor the blind singer Gilbert Montagné and to make wine accessible to all. The collection offers a masterclass in the diverse soils of the Rhône, from steep granite terraces to alluvial rolled pebbles, capturing the pure essence of Syrah, Grenache, Marsanne, and Roussanne.
🍾 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.
