✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Named after the ancient Greek concept of a sacred precinct or a piece of land dedicated to a deity, 'Temenos' is a fitting tribute to M. Chapoutier's deep-rooted philosophy of biodynamic viticulture and reverence for the soil. In the Rhône Valley, where steep terraced vineyards have been cultivated for millennia, Chapoutier treats each plot as a unique sanctuary. This red cuvée captures the essence of the region's classic terroir, typically showcasing the deep, structured character of Syrah or the rich, warm fruit of Grenache. Crafted with minimal intervention, wild fermentations, and patient aging, the wine reflects the historical legacy of the Rhône, delivering a pure, mineral-driven profile rich with dark berries, cracked black pepper, and garrigue herbs.
🍾 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.
