The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A true icon of the Rhône Valley, Michel Chapoutier holds an absolutely phenomenal lineup of crus under his belt. With his winemaking talent and deep, almost instinctive understanding of the vineyard, he has a knack for uncovering the very best terroirs like no one else. His wines are remarkably consistent, delivering some of the most complete, expressive takes on their appellations. A benchmark name, without question.

Delicate hints of apricot add complexity, while its lively energy and balance make it a pleasure to drink. Perfect as an aperitif or paired with goat cheese, it’s a beautifully precise wine that earned 90/100 from the Selection Committee.
