The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Renowned winemaker, at the head of one of the most esteemed estates of the Rhone Valley region, Michel Chapoutier presides over a phenomenal collection of Crus. His talent as a winemaker and his unique knowledge of the vineyard enables him to find the best terroirs for his wines. Of amazing consistency throughout each vintage, his wines are beautiful representations of their appellations. A true reference of the winemaking world! 

It was therefore only natural for us to follow this path to excellence, going back to the Maison Chapoutier with Olivier Poussier to select and blend the most beautiful wines from this sensational terroir.
Wine A model of its appellation and exemplary success in this magical vintage, the 2020 red Saint-Joseph Les Pilandiers benefits from all the virtuosity of Chapoutier's style. This Syrah on granite produces a dense, deep juice with notes of graphite, black fruits, and spices. Firm and powerful, carried by delicate tannins and a spicy finish, this beautiful Saint Joseph delivers the best of its terroir—a must-have, tailor-made for our members.
Vinification Manual harvest, totally destemmed, 15 months maturation in concrete tanks and demi-muids of 2 to 3 wines.
