The wines by Maison Chapoutier are renowned by the finest connoisseurs from all around the world for their refinement and high quality. A man of many talents, Michel Chapoutier holds the world record for 100/100 scores awarded by the American critic, Robert Parker. Mathilde, Michel Chapoutier's daughter, has taken over the running of this iconic house, which has over 350 hectares of vineyards in the most prestigious appellations of northern and southern Rhône Valley.

The grapes were carefully sorted at the time of harvest. Vinification in closed concrete vats. Vatting period of 3 weeks. Exclusive use of the run-off wine. Aged in vats for 14 to 16 months.
