✨ Tekniske specifikationer
M. Chapoutier's Signargues is a striking expression of the southernmost communal appellation of the Côtes du Rhône Villages. The terroir of Signargues is defined by an ancient, sun-drenched terrace of the Rhône River, characterized by a thick layer of rounded pebbles (galets roulés) resting on iron-rich red clay. This unique soil composition absorbs daytime heat and radiates it back to the vines at night, yielding a wine of remarkable concentration and depth. The name Signargues carries historical weight, tracing back to local legends of ancient battles, specifically the 8th-century clash where Charles Martel's forces defeated Saracen invaders, leaving the soil stained red—a folklore that mirrors the intense, deep ruby hue of the wine itself. Chapoutier crafts this cuvée primarily from Grenache and Syrah, utilizing traditional concrete vat fermentation and gentle extraction to preserve the vibrant, spicy dark fruit character, wild garrigue herbs, and supple tannins that define this historic terroir.
🍾 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.
