The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Leader of the biodynamic movement in viticulture, Michel Chapoutier is one of the greatest winemakers of all times. A true craftsman, he creates great wines that represent the best qualities of their appellation.


In particular on the Hermitage terroir, his favorite part of the region, where he makes anthology parcel wines. These terroir wines, produced biodynamically, are the height of complexity and refinement. Crafted to perfection, they have few equivalents.


They are, of course, produced in very limited quantities. These sought-after wines are rarely accessible... Today, we are honored to present to you the complete range of Chapoutier's parcel based wines in an exceptional vintage, at an "en-primeur" price! An offer unheard of everywhere else!
Wine With exemplary charm, the 2019 Red Ermitage Les Greffieux displays suave and sophisticated notes of violets, crème de cassis and delicate spices. It is a formidable ambassador of its terroir, with a rare balance, offering both the marks of a great wine of the future and the evidence of a wine already perfectly accomplished. An elegant and refined wine. Rated 96/100 by Parker.
Vinification Hand harvested and entirely de-stemmed, long vinification in cement vats, natural extraction during maceration, aged 100% in barrels of 1 or 2 wines for 14 to 18 months.

Organic and Biodynamic wine, certified.
