✨ Tekniske specifikationer
M. Chapoutier's "Pie VI" Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a profound tribute to the historical papal connection of the Southern Rhône, named in honor of Pope Pius VI. This cuvée is crafted from a classic blend of Grenache and Syrah, sourced from select parcels rooted in the iconic terroir of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, characterized by its famous "galets roulés" (rounded quartzite stones) and sandy-clay soils. Adhering to Chapoutier's signature biodynamic farming philosophy, the grapes are carefully hand-harvested and fermented using native yeasts. The wine is aged in a combination of concrete tanks and large oak demi-muids to preserve the vibrant purity of the fruit while cultivating a refined, age-worthy structure. The result is a deeply expressive red wine showcasing aromas of ripe dark berries, wild garrigue, black pepper, and licorice, backed by velvety tannins and a mineral-driven finish.
🍾 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.
