Rhone Valley Chapoutier

Our committee's review

A star of the Rhône Valley, Michel Chapoutier brings together an astonishing catalogue of crus. With his winemaking talent and deep knowledge of the vineyards, he knows better than anyone how to uncover the finest terroirs. His wines are models of consistency, offering the purest expression of each appellation — a success story that shines across the globe. A true benchmark.

The 2023 White IGP Collines Rhodaniennes Combe Pilate opens with ease, showing lightly toasted and grilled notes in a sunny, even exotic register, with touches of mango. Its generous structure carries this ripe, complete profile, making it an ideal match for spiced cuisine. Best enjoyed now in large glasses.

The 2023 Red Crozes-Hermitage Petite Ruche is a beautifully ripe Syrah that opens with smoky, bacon-like notes carried by freshness. Vinified and aged in cement tanks with no oak influence, it shows a sapid structure that is light and silky in tannins, bursting with pure indulgence. A wine of immediate pleasure, to be enjoyed within the next two years.

The 2023 Red Saint-Joseph Deschants from Chapoutier delivers the captivating, signature aromas of Syrah: finesse, smoky notes, ash, abundant black fruit, and a wonderfully seductive touch of pepper. Hints of graphite, a reflection of the granite terroirs, are perfectly balanced by precise, measured aging. On the palate, the wine combines density with freshness, offering ripe, savory fruit full of character. The tannins are wrapped and polished, giving the texture an almost velvety feel without any heaviness. A true benchmark of the appellation, this Saint-Joseph is already irresistible and promises several more years of pleasure.

The best-selling Trio from one of the Rhône Valley’s great names.
