✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the sun-drenched terraces of the Southern Rhône Valley, M. Chapoutier's 'Terrasses de Galets' White is a beautiful tribute to the region's unique geological history. The name itself references the 'galets roulés'—smooth, quartzite river stones left behind by ancient alpine glaciers. These iconic pebbles absorb the fierce Provençal sun by day and radiate warmth back to the vines at night, fostering optimal ripening. Crafted by the historic house of Chapoutier, established in 1808, this white blend typically brings together classic regional varietals such as Grenache Blanc, Clairette, and Bourboulenc. Vinified primarily in stainless steel to preserve its vibrant, fresh character, the wine captures the essence of the Rhône: a delicate balance of crisp stone fruits, white blossoms, and a distinctive, stony minerality that reflects its ancient 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.
